@greenshoots America wont collapse in a day or year. That takes a special kind of violence involving something like a civil war. If some national guard unit drives tanks towards the pentagon and takes pot shot at it then we will see collapse go very fast. Americans are like frogs boiled in a pot for 20 years. They have corn syrup and "tv"(twitter) to keep them just docile enough to not do something about it. All they do is complain. 9/11, opioid crisis, 3 new wars, covid, all planned and executed by american goverment. Every four years, they reset and suck some rich bastards dick like a sports event.

What is more likely to happen is during this period of financial crisis is cannibalism. Federal taxation stops. Not because they cant make people pay. But because the people are broke and dont make money. Looking at history, if countries start to go broke, they try to rob their neighbours, turn them into slaves and loot the land.

Le west has been thoroughly infiltrated by zogbots. Politicians, press and social media are owned by the same banks. All it takes is one election cycle to replace a western democracy to do whatever zog wants.

Zog has a far easier time cannibalizing its allies to buy time to pay for stuff. Just a color revolution here or there. Political compass stuff is just flavor. Doesnt matter so long as they serve a wealth transfer back to zog.

Wars against enemies is less likely, fighting something that hits back and gives nothing. War against china is a lie so that allies(pinos, korea, japan, aussie) gets stupid enough to trap themselves in a us dominated debt spiral. Look at NS2. Europe is going away for good, min 50 years.

On top of western cannibalism, there is a drive to rape the center. Former main components of "citizens" go away. Middle class is done, forget things like life expectancy, retirement and standard of living. They are going to sacrifice a disillusion voter pool with a fresh batch. The moment the police/military is able to get a stable batch of recruits from this new group, zog can sit still for a good while. All the gibs will go to this group of enforcers, zog cant afford not to at this point.
