    The tipping point will be when OPEC replaces the petrodollar. The USD will weaken more and more over the next 6-24 months, and trump will piss off OPEC with warmongering, and they’ll turn to the petroeuro or petroyuan, and trump will lash out and attempt unwinnable wars while the economy is in freefall.

    Or we’ll form our own OPEC to compete, and we’ll deal with Russia attempting to invade Alaska. And we’ll sell so much oil that Americans won’t have any left for us, so we’ll be one of those broke petrostates that the right makes fun of all the time.

    Or he’ll die before that all can happen.

    If Vance weren’t a couchfucking coward, he’d 25th amendment and… destroy the country a little more slowly. Yeah, I don’t really see a stable way out of this one.
