I fully expect the ramifications of this to be missed in the US, the scale of large countries (in terms of size and population, i.e. US, China, Russia, India, Brazil) makes them become desensitized to other countries, they effectively live in their own worlds.

Their balance sheets will trickle slowly down as dependent countries phase slowly, independently and sensibly. Given they can't see the effects near them (USA's own market is so huge it gives the impression an isolationist arrangement will suffice), I do really believe the rope will thin unnoticed for quite some time until it snaps, and USA Big Tech and the US government will scratch their heads in confusion on what changed and how they got there.
