The US having such a large military at the time of it's inevitable descent is actually really scary. Nothing about that country or its history says "ah yes we're the sort to go down quietly"
this is very important, especially with the general opinion of "if I can't have nice things nobody can" that the people in command have makes me kind of concerned.
yep...it's like imagine if the declining british empire with it's vast naval power flipped fash (mosley or british union of fash) instead of germany (which was a devestated 2nd rate empire with little international reach). only add nukes to the naval power and a coresponding land army capable of invading nearly anybody
There's going to have to be a massive internal resistance to something like that here. There aren't any boarders that people can escape through or other nations with militaries strong enough to resist American expansion on this continent.
I wonder how far they'd make it before partisan movements ground down the will of our volunteer army? How many more would sign up to fight at our boarders? We could very well be entering the physical occupation and annexation phase of US neoliberal colonialism if the empire continues to crumble like it is.

Yeah that's a perfect way to describe it, if the us goes down they will make sure we all will suffer
