    As an American, yes. There’s no way to take us on militarily, so it must be economical. The rest of the world’s governments have been reluctant thus far to distance themselves from ours like they should, though. Private citizens of the world, avoid spending money on anything American as much as possible!

      This is what you get wrong all the time… sure we cannot fight you head on and win… but you cannot colonize the world either. You could destroy the world and if so, congrats becoming kings of the smoldering leftover Earth

      The USA thinks they can just conquer the world and plunder but history showed you could not do that in Vietnam, in Afghanistan, in Iran or Iraq… and this was when nobody at home was suffering much and nobody there cared about the brown people being slaughtered on the other side of the world

        Oh, you can fight us off from taking over other places; I was referring to other places trying to defeat us on our home turf. The US would simply nuke the world so everybody loses if that were attempted.

          nobody wants that and the internal infighting will take care of most of it anyway
