I don't think you understand America at all. You look at it through an internet/media lens which is not correct. If you believe the US is in trouble, Europe will collapse decades before the US does. The US has unlimited energy, minerals and raw materials. The US has the best scientists and engineers.The US still provides the best opportunity for poor people to become rich. These things actually matter. The president is a 4 year figure head that will eventually go. Does the US have problems? Absolutely. Is the rest of world fucked if the US loses its standing? Absolutely. The US does not need the Europeans as allies. Europe is a US vacation spot, nothing else. Europeans lost their identity and resolve decades ago. They gutted their energy infrastructure and setup convoluted social safety net systems they can't fund. The US also has social obligations they won't be able keep going but the underlying structure of the real economy is much healthier than our European/Canadian counterparts.

Japan and Korea are demographically fucked. The Chinese have an oil problem that batteries and solar can't solve. This is why theyre building out vast amounts of nuclear, which is smart, but that transition won't happen over night. The problem with China is that you can't invest and build in China without having the govt throttling you if you step out of line.

Your arguments about Trump and politeness are dull and overplayed and actually matter little in the great power struggle that we are about to witness.

This will be a turbulent century for everyone. Strap in, stay humble, stack sats.
