     @ArmchairEconomist01 I like economics. I disagree with a lot of the conclusions you're drawing. global economic "stability" in any capacity is presently dependent on free and open trade. The USA via naval power expression is the police force which maintains that. hypersonic and guerilla tactics are testing / deboonking our superiority at the moment. Short to intermediate term this means we'll see waning US power since we're an importer nation. But we have enough resources of all types to be an exporter again, and also to develop full isolationism. One very plausible path is a mitigation of economic contraction via reshoring of manufacturing and industrial base. It will shift us down from "fancy economic mega superpower" towards "self sufficient and highly industrial superpower". Russia is presently headed towards the same space in an upward fashion. We will likely be in a similar or better position due to our geography and natural genetic stock.

     @BowsacNoodle I've heard this before.
     
     But they don't calculate what America will look like when 80% of America are Haitians with HIV & the other 20% will be transvestites.
     
     I agree we can survive as isolationist. Most countries can do that.

     @ArmchairEconomist01 80% of Americans won't be Haitians though. As for the isolationism, the USA and Russia are the only two geographic locations with basically everything including farm land, petroleum, fresh water, and uranium. Not that everybody else can't or won't trade, but that we literally could get by without it.

     @ArmchairEconomist01 I'll treat it as humor. Don't forget that it's possible to point out system flaws and be wrong on their conclusions amd solutions. Libtards do this all the time, and, while we have more data and facts on our side, we are not immune to ontne same hubris.
