The US falling will be like Rome falling. America going down will be a whirlpool of Biblical proportions, dragging everyone down with us.
Reading your other responses, it's like no one has a sense of history or world economies.
And what will the West do when it's Russia and the US? Europe is falling flat on their face in the Ukraine, a threat right on their doorstep. LOL, they can't make enough artillery shells to keep up with a 3rd world army using WWII gear.
Russia wants rare earths in the two regions it's declared, and has hinted at wanting to invade Moldova (Odesa being a longterm interest for Russia)... It also wants Sebastopol obviously for the naval port that doesn't freeze over. But there's Zero chance they could go up against Europe collectively, not without China at least, and they're not as into the idea.
But I think you're being hyperbolic if you think the US will collapse in such a short time fram (Rome took at least a century), or that WW3 is going to arrive in Europe anytime soon. We're still multiple highly unlikely geopolitical maneuvers away from that.
It's consolidation. At worst it's preparation for China's 2030 push (and that's not a sure thing either, have to see what happens in the US in 2028 before we get to finding more out about that).
