Keep in mind the question is not about "likelyhood" of an economic recession. It's not a risk assessment. The question is about what would you do to deal with a recession better. An "it's unlikely" answer feels off topic to me.
The OP is positing reasons for why they believe an economic recession might be in the books in their message. They aren’t preparing for an economic recession because they like it. Providing reasoning for why that reasoning may not hold seems on topic.
The problem is not the midterms. The problem is that the world has been thoroughly spooked by the West cutting off Russia from trade and payment systems. Countries like India, China and Saudi Arabia are already moving to other currencies for international trade. When that trickle becomes a flood, then the dollar will crash - because there's nothing holding it up apart from its reserve status. You already have $5 per gallon gas. Then it will be $10 and you'll have to find ways to buy food without getting in a car and driving the few miles to the grocery store. It's going to be nasty.
Nah, the USD will be fine. Where are you going to go? China won't let you use the yuan and everyone knows they'd be even more controlling with it.
Also, USD has actually gotten stronger in the last month, and the sanctions were mostly on EUR anyway.
Russia is just going to trade with China and the rest of Southeast Asia and vice-versa. India is going to trade with Russia. Saudi Arabia is going to trade with Russia. Russia has things that nations actually need: wheat, oil, gas, nickel and so on.
