Probably not quite what you had in mind, but that might actually happen. The saudis are the main investors in AI. If they can't sell their oil, they might be forced to pull out. It could burst the AI bubble all together and crash the US economy.

the us economy crashing because of a war the us insisted on provoking would be 🤌

I think the correct term is not "insisted on provoking" but "started". Dropping bombs on primary schools and city centers is not a provocation, it is an act of aggressive criminal war
