I'm just curious, as I don't know how old you are: do you remember that crisis and how it all played out?  I remember it well, especially the absolutely devastating hit the stock market took, which can be plainly seen on a 20-year chart of the S&P 500:



People were losing their houses because they couldn't afford them anymore (though many shouldn't have bought them in the first place), unemployment skyrocketed, and every day in the news you'd read about banks in the US shutting down.  It was a triple threat crisis, with the housing and stock markets getting slaughtered, as well as the banking system. 

Following that, the brilliant idea of "Quantitative Easing" was carried out, and the printing presses at the Federal Reserve went BRRR for years, in part leading us to the inflationary spike we're seeing today.  I'm not really sure if the economy of 2022 is nearly as bad as the 2007-09 crisis, but it certainly could get there quick.

That whole thing baffles me.  And I'm not sure how the US would respond, but if it was with nuclear weapons, that would be suicide.
