          14/ This is a fine question, and one I've considered. I think that a brief disruption calls it into question, but does not alter global geopolitical fundamentals. If CivWar2 goes terribly, and Blues face huge threats, yes, USD has big big problems.https://twitter.com/geospagetti/status/1337860592590331904 …

          The point this guys is making is dumb but does dollar demand hold up in some fantasy civil war 2 scenario? Lots of ifs here but I don’t see how it does in any even semi-realistic scenario.

          Since you're slow, I'll put it this way: It's slow and onerous in order to get the requisite supplies the way you're wanting. Imagine if said supply ship got raided(since for most of the way they're on international waters anyways). Even a delay in food would be disastrous. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1337849031414996995 …

          It gets worse. The world's going to do more than just sell us gas and food. Who are the Blues' international allies? Europe, Canada. Who are the Reds' allies? ...uh, Brazil? The Philippines? Reds could probably put up a good fight, but put me down in the "Blues win" column.

          As I watch @MorlockP argue with dullards, let me remind you the relevant model for Civ War 2 is not Civ War 1. It is the Troubles in Northern Ireland with the volume cranked to 11 and the knob broken off. 1/
