by cutting off it's international financial influence to a large degree, it will become far far weaker. but, knowing the US this wouldn't mean less military spending just more of the budget goes on military spending. like you say, the only way America collapses is inwards, which is not impossible but is going to be one total fucking shitshow of violence
I’m pretty convinced this is already happening, but these dynamics take time to play out and just because your right doesn’t mean it’s happening in your lifetime.
I think it will absolutely happen soon. once the ecological impacts of climate change hit the united states hard shit is gonna go ham. half their country is already on fire at any one time, you just wait until Arizona, Nevada, hell even California become unlivable. the great plains farming that is the backbone to middle america is on a ticking time bomb to dust bowl 2.0 with the mass depletion of the Ogallala aquifer. racial and political violence is already extremely normalised in America, with many armed groups already armed and trained to seize power locally when they can. if China supplanted America as the hegemon, or even just beat America back into their own corner, the US empire would absolutely collapse within, and quickly too
