The US needs to keep leveraging its intellectual capital (not dollar hegemony) to remain the leader in cyberspace and internet marketing and entertainment so that in case of a war, it has more allies than China.
Having more weapons might seem like a winning move but if one has no true allies, they lose.
Ref: The defeat of the well stocked Nazi army.
People fight wars, not guns and weapons. Not even an army of drones I'll argue (they can be hacked).
China has no interest in fighting the USA and the problem is America's debt problem. Seems like there'll be a lot of trade wars on the road to $1 quadrillion in debt. After which point people will maybe realize this is all crazy and they will stop chasing the high of debt cocaine. Maybe we will go back to being religious and to looking to the stars, and to having kids and not not bothering with overpriced fiat school when trade skills are everywhere.
USA has 5k nukes China Has 500+
"I'm not afraid of the man who wants ten nuclear weapons, Colonel. I'm terrified of the man who only wants one."
Haha!
Hahah that movie was okay. I’m shocked you quoted it haha movie was mostly forgettable for me
Its not all about the monetary system but about the quality and strategic intelligence and sense of purpose of your government.
Of course it's all about the monetary system. As long as there exists a money printer, someone with access is going to keep pushing the print-money button until, first gradually and then suddenly, it becomes worthless for everyone else.
See this is why the Japanese are smarter than you. You apparently can't look at a system objectively from an engineering perspective. You have to filter every idea through the Opium Wars no matter how irrelevant it is to the problem at hand.
China has won the trade war and now USA cannot fight a military war of any scale because China holds the supply of refined rare earths required to fight a modern war...

Western governments have been taken over by parasitic bankers and corporate lobbyists who rentseek and squander fiat debt issuance to inflate non productive speculative assets but fail to invest in productive industry and infrastructure.
