Is it wise to defeat the U.S. economically? How much of the rest of the world's economic activity depends on a moderately healthy U.S. economy?

We import $1,900,000,000,000.00 worth of goods a year. That's 12.9% of all the goods traded in the world. How long would the disruption of that economic factor impact the world economy? We export 12.7 % of all the goods traded in the world, again how long for that economic disruption to get absorbed?

Defeating the U.S. economically might be cutting off ones nose to spite ones face.

Well, at one time this also true of the UK ( where I live ) when we stopped being the worlds primary economic power life didn't come to an end....you took our place. When you stop someone else will take your place: China would seem the most likely candidate, but who knows ?
