Quite so! (It's a point that I have been documenting in many of my prior articles.) However, the present article is saying that even if the U.S. economic crash that I expect to come soon won't come soon, NATO will probably soon start losing members; and, if and when that happens, it will expedite an economic crash in the U.S. itself. In other words: the U.S. economy is doubly risked to have an economic collapse soon. Assets that are invested in the U.S. ought to be rated as being much higher-risk than they currently are being rated (S&P's "AAA" the top rating, which S&P https://disclosure.spglobal.com/ratings/en/regulatory/article/-/view/sourceId/12657962 gives to not only America but Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, the entire EU, South Korea, Switzerland, and a few others -- basically to the U.S. and its colonies, except Japan). (However, if the U.S. empire collapses, they'll all go down.)
It may happen. I am old enough to remember when Nixon closed the gold window and thought the end near. We went through the 70s inflation and came back thinking the Reagan prosperity a golden age and inflation continues and our Fed is hapless, but, hey, maybe, there is another rabbit to pull out of the hat.
The inevitable will happen, we know not the day or hour.
Your phrase "The inevitable will happen, we know not the day or hour." is classic. It should become an aphorism, because it is apt for many such situations. I wish I had thought of it before.
The US economy may look well from afar, but the average citizen is not doing too good.
Things don't seem to be going to well for the empire managers and Caitlin Johnstone has it the the empire managers are scared of the campus protests.
