Sad but that’s more likely to happen, and young ppl and kids have to pay for the huge price :( I wish we don’t have to go through that!

The only way it doesn’t engulf everyone is a US Civil War, which won’t be much better.
You don’t have a war machine like the US has built and not use it whilst the empire crumbles though. One way or another people should expect major US-led conflict this decade.
The price tag of the conflict would affect not only the US but other nations using USD, having them lose the value of it!
