No, it wouldn't stop the US. Russia's economy is crumbling, but they can manage to keep fighting for several years now. A collapsing economy doesn't stop wars. It only makes them harder. The threat can stop one potentially though.
The only reason Russia is able to continue is because they have a completely different economy to the USA.
Once capitalism crumbles, the USA will fall.
Dude, Russia has been a capitalist nation for decades. It's the exact same kind of economy. Arguably they have a different form of governance, with Putin as a dictator. I don't think we're that far apart with that right now though.
