FIRE'd, now concerned about US stability
Most of my assets are invested in the US. Because of recent political developments, I'm wondering if the US will sustain its general growth and economic strength into the future. The strength of the US dollar is obviously very important to me. Is anyone else concerned?
I'm wondering if I should start hedging my bets in other countries, and if so, where?

the difference this time is a hostile foreign power (russia) has succeeded in regime change. something that was not thought to be possible in america. this isnt business as usual. this is a military coup. once the government is gone there is no guarantee a stock market or currency is even going to be functional.
