The US has become fat and indolent. Mired in debt and a culture of unsustainable consumption. Dependent upon the endless spigot of USD fiat debt - the curse of reserve currency status. Mired in woke identity politics and the culture of grievance and entitlement- increasingly devoid of any deep sense of duty...increasing greed, inequality and division. The collapse might be more dramatic and humbling that that Great Britain faced at its end of empire.
