    At what point does an economic threat become a military one? If that economic threat will do vast damage to a country’s wellbeing could it be determined a military threat? For example, taking billions of $ from a country is more damaging than losing a single battleship.

    If so, he’s threatened almost every country on the planet.

      Well, one of the ways the world waged war during WW2 was direct attacks on the industrial and economic infrastructure of the enemy. If you can achieve the same thing without even having to bomb them, I’d say that’s as much of a threat to the countries sovereignty as military action would be.
