The war in Ukraine will break the U.S.
The economy is the exchange of goods and services. Finance is the exchange of account balances.
The current economic order revolves around financialization of scarcity in the market rather than production to meet demand. We can produce 10% of the eggs we did last year, but still have the same GDP from egg production, if you use the metrics "professionals" use.
Even if this were to end up being resolved and the MIC somehow survive global dedollarization and an inversion of economic paradigm, a forever war in Ukraine is a geostrategic impossibility. We will literally run out of Ukrainians in about another year or two. We technically already have, and will begin losing more prior military listed as deserters.
If we get directly involved, Russia has the positioning to force us out of the theater and to do so indefinitely.
Even the 'big idea' guys at RAND are starting to sing the tune I've been singing for the past year. We will only harm ourselves by doing this, and much of the damage has already been done. Dedollarization is underway and the real hyperinflation begins when foreign nations dump their bonds and we can't offshore that debt and have to circulate it domestically.
It's already game over and a victory for the U.S. is mathematically impossible. The only thing we can do is brace for impact and ready damage control to preserve what capacity and positioning we have.
We are the USSR circa 1988.
