No, I suppose not. Wouldn't be prudent. Europe and China and the rest of Asia are all in big trouble compared to us. If what you suspect is tried, they will all hurt much worse than us, and abdicate world economic leadership to us for a long time. It's not even mutual assured destruction.
Remember, when the USA gets a cold, the world gets pneumonia
China is committing mutually assured destruction right now. We will agree to disagree... time will tell.
