Nah, I think we'd self-destruct before that happens. Individualism runs deep in this country. 'Murica is not a homogenous ethnostate like China. There are too many different identities that are prioritized over the common good, like race, religion, and ideologies. I don't even know what it means to be "American" anymore. Besides, when times get tough, people become selfish, and collectivist structures tend to crumble. It will likely become a patchwork of smaller states, possibly like the Warring States/Warlord period. That said, I'm more confident about Texas than most other states (looking at you, California).
He brags about Eugenics but unintentionally creates a race of Orcs. I thought Elves were supposed to be the master race!
I think this is as close as an Acceptance stage that we will see
President Xi... push the button.

Japan has slow decline. below 1m only came around 2016 but now it has accelerated. Japan wealthy country by Asian standards and can attract alot of people but the Japan as a power decline will be next to impossible to reverse. even reaching TFR of 2 will not change the trajectory. Japan is the most studied country and obviously Soft Powers cannot write everything in public otherwise Europeans and Japanese would know about it so they give this task to some one no can complain. this just last two years.
Governments are mainly just looking at each other; none of them have a clue on how to solve it, so they stopped talking about it to avoid making empty promises.
But South Korea recently raised its marriage rate by ~20% in 2024; that's a significant improvement that other governments should be paying attention to, as marriage rates are one of the biggest contributors to fertility. Just for comparison, China's marriage rate dropped by ~20% in the same year.
People really underestimate the destructive effects of low fertility, mainly because they haven't experienced it for any significant period of time. Ask the Japanese, who have experienced it, and how their country went from one of the most competitive, innovative economies in the world, to a nation of dinosaurs who let every opportunity in the last twenty years slip by.

I just got to lol at Uncle Gordie. Failed at his main hustle of predicting the collapse of China for over 20 years, can't even manage a short term side hustle as a propagandist for the Korean right.
