America seems to be teetering on collapse, but still I keep hearing about them spreading their influence in eastern Europe and South America. What would have to happen to get them to stop? I know the British Empire collapsed under mountains of debt after WW2, can US imperialism slow down just a little?

    The US can absolutely go bankrupt if trust in the US dollar were to decline enough. You can't just print money forever without an extremely tight focus around issues of inflation.

    Argentina was one of the worlds richest countries in 1940 and is where it is today because they ran the money printer a little to hard buying things that didn't actually increase their economic capacity.
