Contagion of the sick economy: During the Cold War the idea was of mutual assured destruction. Then I reasoned:
If both blocks smash themselves to smithereens, we will inherit the whole Earth.

Who’d be wasting a bomb or two on Brazil? You can’t imagine how much I laughed and joked about those biblical end of the world scenarios.

But the idea came that the whole earth would be engulfed by dust and a nuclear winter would ensue. Not only that. The Russians, so the story went, would send bombs left and right to make sure no one would be remaining to rise as the dominant power.

I see the same Armageddon scenario here:
“When the United States sneezes the rest of the world gets the cold. And since the United States will not just sneeze, but is risking a serious case of protracted and severe pneumonia, the rest of the world should start to worry about a serious viral contagion.”

That’s the similar tone of tying up, the guy who partied, to the guy who had stayed at home saying that both will get a hangover!!

Those analysis are purely intimidation campaigns. I can rec all Mexico going down ad dragging the whole LATAM. Last around Argentina defaulted on $100bn, Brazil didn;t even blinked.

In one word: Decoupling
