Debt held by the Asian countries you just referred to, that in some ways need America to keep paying that debt.

America seems at this point to be the economic engine poised to continue doing so.

Innovative, entrepreneurial, creative….
It hasn’t lost its mojo quite yet.

I’m not as pessimistic about this right now as you are.
Correct, there is no way an major economy can attack the US economy without doing just as much or more harm to itself. The only way to harm the US economy without harming yourself is through a slow bleed.
The path the current president is taking sure is countering your statement here.
The president is not an external force.

Biden was almost successful where Trump, Obama, and Bush all failed

And then more troops went back

Trump had a peace treaty with the Taliban that was to go in effect in May so the U.S. could pull out. His Joint Chiefs lied to him to delay past the election, and Biden cancelled the treaty, so we got what you see right here.

Yep.

The Afghans are an honor culture and the Biden move broke the word of the US. The Taliban told us in April if we were out by the agreed May 1st they would make us pay, and have.

Worst thing is why Biden did it, because he wanted credit for getting the US out.

There are US troops holding a perimeter around the airport. This could go really bad.
