Agreed.
Thing is America's economy is cooked. It's AI grifts, crypto scams, and gambling all the way down. The only actual wing of the economy is the military industrial complex and washing the dollar through other countries via warfare and asset seizure.
We're fully into the newest Lebensraum era of the US where, as the generals kept saying to Hitler, 'the war will pay for itself'.
The only problem for the US is that it usually doesn't as the targets get harder and the ROI of plundering countries gets thinner. I mean, look at Trump's meeting with the oil execs for an early example; they don't even want to invest $100bn for oil extraction in Venezuela because they don't think the US can keep control of it long-term.
