If you think China is first, you’re drunk on the Kool-Aid. The global economy is headed towards another depression and US citizens are seeing debt default rates at record levels.
The US is probably going to hurt the least. Easily defendable, farming that’s insulated from attacks, distributed power, roads, rail, and waterway distribution systems. Additionally the us has oil and can refine it.
I’m not saying the us will be fine.
Unfortunately the USA does not refine its own oil. It sells it and imports and refines foreign oil. Changing or replacing oil refineries stateside to refine domestic crude would take billions of dollars and years to construct.
I’m assuming that Canada remains a cool trade buddy.
