So, it's kinda like "ground zero," and then you start to build back up?
"coup" and "collapse" are not the same.

being dissolved and willfully dissolving are not the same thing.

.. and what happens?
nothing much.
people still buy goods and services
people still sell goods and services
the economy adjusts
the financial markets adjust
everyone fully recognizes the need for rule of law
the currency adjusts
people keep living
the world keeps turning

etc


i stayed in russia and watched pretty much the whole thing for almost a decade. i wouldn't trade that time for anything.

idiots in this place act like we are living in the 1400's or something with no real concept of how a contemporary economy in a developed nation actually works on a macro level.
