How does the US do these things?

Badly, and with nuclear threats . But it will do them. I do not dispute it will loose in a conventional way.

I think where we differ is you expect a stop in hostilities after the USA is beaten; and I feel since the reason for this war is only market manipulation; the war will continue, however it can

I mean that's all been tried already in the first month. The US was seriously considering using nukes, but it wouldn't solve the problem. And where we differ is that I expect the US economy will crash and the US will have a USSR style collapse. It's really important to separate the base from the superstructure here. All these things like market manipulation and other machinations require a stable foundation at the bottom, and that's been eroded for many decades now. And no amount of financial tricks can change the material reality because you can't just wish things into being in the real world.
