The bank will side with whoever makes them the most money. Cutting off the US means a default on loans. They won’t do it, they will lobby their governments to not do it, and will only do it if their home country forces them to do so.
The problem is you then lose any leverage. The threat is what’s important. If you dump them then there’s no reason Trump would stop. If they hold them then they can use them as a threat.
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.
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.
To anyone downvoting: care to give your reasoning? If you disagree, could you explain why? What kind of economy do you think Russia has?

Very noble of you.

Yeah these people will do only what is financially expedient, they are amoral by definition.
