That exact type of suicidal calculus is what we're best at. Or at least well practiced at. Just look at how we wield sanctions like a cleaver. We've abused them so much that it wouldn't be a lie to say the US is a major contributor to the success of BRICS. We engineered the conditions that made a financial system outside the realm of the petrodollar not only possible, but necessary.
Congrats. Your small peaceful town is about to become a gas stop on the side of an interstate highway expansion.
Either it will boom and you'll all be gentrified out. Or it'll bust and dwindle away to literally a gas stop.
Flip a coin.
