When will the USA collapse?
There is literally no reason why America would ever collapse. China is more likely to collapse.
Not in the near future. Not sure why people buy into this when we've been in far worse situations and pulled through.
America is God's gift to the whole world, she's a shining light in the dark. It is her duty to spread liberalism wherever there it is absent on this planet.
God bless the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
>>attempts at redistributing the wealth among a failing economy
actually that's usually a sign of an empire on the rise. Augustus and Liu Pang were both big on wealth redistribution.
It's more likely that America will go through a China style dynastic cycle of collapsing republics, military rule, civil wars, and other such things, followed by restored republics, new constitutions, and new golden ages.
This.
America is overextended and might retreat from it's oversea engagements but that doesn't mean it'll collapse, the geography is too good for that. Just retrench and lose relevancy
all of these. the US is incredibly stable, wealthy and powerful right now. China is a distant number 2 and probably less stable in the long term.
lol it hasn't even gotten its full conquests
Maybe they'll leave Russia alone, but they'll keep it hemmed in and China is on the chopping block.
>Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam ensues
Neocon please go
this
>Neocon please go
not ideology, just facts.
frankly we should care less about what happens within the borders of other sovereign states. interventionism is the reason we're over-extended.

Pick one
>>It is her duty to spread liberalism wherever there it is absent on this planet.
soft power my friend...
But we're not over-extended
Where is this meme coming from?
America has no problem keeping up her military
Unironically this.
>Oil tanker ramming intensifies
that's just naval incompetence
the vast majority of America's military is far stronger than it was during even the height of the Cold War
>China is more likely to collapse.
How long have people been making this prediction?
>the vast majority of America's military is far stronger than it was during even the height of the Cold War
Can't even knock over something as pathetic as Syria
Okay, so when did America actually go to war with Syria? When did we send even a fraction into Syria to fight Assad?
Thinking that a few airstrikes that were self-defense or retalliation for human rights violations are enough to topple a dictatorship is unrealistic.
