> overnight collapse of economy

How many decades is "overnight" supposed to represent here? Or do you really mean overnight? The WarGames scenario where the AI decides the only logical option is a pre-emptive nuclear strike?

Collapses, even in seriously banana republic countries, do not happen overnight. They are slow and agonising, and present options for .. kinetic solutions.
