Sometimes the debt burden is kinda overblown domestically and abroad. Couldn't they just increased once again the debt ceiling and money print their way out of it? Haha. Besides, Japan has it worse and they didn't collapsed into a black hole of shithole country of nothingness. The USA may remain stagnant or limped itself forwards but it ain't winning any more races unless it kneecaps everyone else.All of these are window dressing compared to the real problem: 36 trillion in debt and climbing fast. No empire in history has ever dug themselves out of a financial hole like this without reorganizing themselves into something else.
All of those suggestion, even if they could be made to work would only support a country ("USB" as it were) that's a regional power, think Russia but stronger. It will no longer have the comprehensive national strength it has today to be a global superpower. In fact a lot of the very same action (no longer defending rule based order for example) that would strengthen this future USB directly diminishes the current USA's superpower status.
Trump revokes security clearances for John Bolton
President Trump yanked any security clearances that his ex-National Security Adviser John Bolton may have.
Citing Bolton's book penned in the wake of his White House departure, Trump accused him of being reckless with sensitive information.
Trump and Bolton, a famously hawkish foreign policy luminary, have exchanged broadsides repeatedly since the first administration.
Ayyyy you ain't gonna explain your way out of this, Zuck.
Despite the grand plans of Trump, I have to agree. Non-asian STEM human capital is non-existent in the US. Even Nigeria has more. This is due to American cultural and societal fundamentals. Whites never civilized, they lack the self-reflection and discipline to stop themselves from returning to the backwaters.US need a lot more than resources, replaceable software and a China-backed currency to put themselves as China's equal...
What you described is Trump successfully using a few niches America still has (and only if China allows it) to save America a place as a 2nd rate power in a China dominated world, as opposed to collapse into oblivion.
But let's not pretend a country with no industry, no tech advantage, can't even afford basic infrastructure and corrupt to the bone is comparable to a country that make up 2/3 of all human wealth generation...
Debt interest payment is around a trillion dollars a year already, total tax revenue is like 5 trillion, out of that 1 trillion of interest payment has to be deducted first before you do anything else. It takes 8 trillion dollars a year to sustain US in its current state so half of that, 4 trillion comes in the form of additional debt.Sometimes the debt burden is kinda overblown domestically and abroad.
