It's so funny to me that the USSR collapsed in part due to being forced to trade within its bloc, produce everything domestically and having great difficulty in getting tech, cheap goods and foodstuffs from the rest of the world. And here is the US, willingly putting itself in such a position without the benefit of a planned economy and thinking it's s somehow punishing the world.

The second this bubble pops it's all going down the shitter.
