It's why I said, "In this day and age". If circumstances were different you would be right in bringing up that point. But the fact is that your point you make is for all intents and purposes moot due to the economic reliance that the world, especially China, has on the US economy. Which makes it almost guaranteed that world leaders from the West and East will pull every trick in the book to prevent the US from tanking.
