What happens when country A can't pay?
Very bad things, or maybe very good things, depends on your perspective, a reset in any case and a restructuring of debt, usually just after a crash.
Which isn’t free either. Consider the interest levels of countries considered unstable vs those considered stable (UK/US compared to Türkiye/Argentina for example). It massively changes what actions the respective governments can take.
