Put this together with the major victory of China over the US, by reconciling Saudi Arabia with Iran. Now THAT was way beyond US military capability and was strategic genius. (Especially given the timing). Do you really think all the US-centric banks collapsing at this time is just coincidence?
The game is almost over guys. The US is almost fully cooked. The US dollar is in process of losing its reserve status, which is more than enough, all by itself, to knock us down to 2nd world status.
If you are living on a pension, you are likely to have a miserable time once the vigorish of empire dries up a bit and things become more "cash (barter) on the barrelhead".
Oh, and forget tanks and boats for any future military. They are both completely indefensible against drone / hypersonic attacks. Ukraine has proven that.
Sorry to give you the bad news, I hate to discourage, but the good news is: There is still time to prepare a bolthole on a farm or out of the country.
Unless the US goes full Jonestown (we are at least 60% there, with most states still directing psyops and bioweapons at our children), and starts a nuclear war (in which case you won't need to worry about your Social "Security", thank God) China is going to win it all without a shot fired. I'd say this is all in accordance with their 50 year plan, beginning around 1980. Some of our foreign adversaries play the a long, deep game of chess...or maybe Go.
The only hope remaining is to quit all the empire pretensions, begin closing the bases, and bring our military home to defend the Southern/Mexican front and rounding up the Deep State "workers".
Or possibly take a chance on a Southern state. After the fall, say 50 years from now, there is a chance the South might rise again.... I still think the US Constitution/Bill of Rights was a stroke of genius. Too bad we frittered it away on foreign wars and fractional reserve (backed by every increasing debt) deficit spending.
P.S. I'm joking, of course. I think.
