  the US will somehow fall in a vacuum and everyone else will live happily ever after is laughable.
If enough countries collectively decide to not export to the US, it's game over. See Cuba as an example.

Not everything is a movie with a final battle. Alternatives are found and adopted all the time without violent strife.

A reminder the insatiable appetite of the American consumer is a big part of what props up a lot of other economies.

Every consumer is insatiable. Americans have (had?) powerful money that allows them to push the limit.
