    Your fears are valid, of course, but I genuinely think that the violent flailing of the US Empire that is going on right now is out of desparation, and won’t actually work out. It will be messy, though.

      No, that’s just an incompetent despot calling the shots. There is enough money and momentum in the US that everyone better fucking hope a more competent piece of shit doesn’t take power when Tacoman dies.

          That’s not what I said. I didn’t say they’re self-sufficient. I said they have the momentum to royally fuck shit up on the way down, especially if someone remotely competent starts pulling the strings.
