The world has become a small place. A wealthy nation like the US crumbling would have ripple effects throughout the world today. That's undeniable. And if other wealthy nations began having problems, it would also be disastrous for the US.
But poor countries where cheap labor is sought out would have less effect on the US if they faced problems with their own economies. If the US can't make staples for example in Indonesia (just an example, I dont know if they do or not), then they can have them made in China, or Japan.
Collectively if every poor nation or a large number of poor nations that the US relies on for trade, labor, experienced problems, it would effect the US. But that's unlikely to ever happen because poor countries don't operate collectively. They don't have a market. They don't have leverage. They don't have the resources to work collectively.
