The empire will limp along, steadily losing influence until the dollar is dropped as the world’s reserve currency, plunging the United States into a crippling depression and instantly forcing a massive contraction of its military machine.

Short of a sudden and widespread popular revolt, which does not seem likely, the death spiral appears unstoppable, meaning the United States as we know it will no longer exist within a decade or, at most, two. The global vacuum we leave behind will be filled by China, already establishing itself as an economic and military juggernaut, or perhaps there will be a multipolar world carved up among Russia, China, India, Brazil, Turkey, South Africa and a few other states. Or maybe the void will be filled, as the historian Alfred W. McCoy writes in his book “In the Shadows of the American Century: The Rise and Decline of US Global Power,” by “a coalition of transnational corporations, multilateral military forces like NATO, and an international financial leadership self-selected at Davos and Bilderberg” that will “forge a supranational nexus to supersede any nation or empire.”

The End of Empire

this is supposed to happen by 2030 which is not far off.

There's no coming back for a country where "person died after his GoFundMe campaign to pay for insulin came up $50 short" is a real sentence

Since both dem and rep presidents thought it prudent we stay, and they know more than anyone of us, then I say better safe than sorry.
They know how much they get in contributions from defense companies, and they know their constituents who work in the military industrial complex love their government subsidized jobs. It's not about defense, it's about money. If anything, our international presence makes us less safe, not more.
