MODERATORS
by now, China is the global leader. US has been crumbling for a while.
If there's ever a US/China war, the US will lose. it isn't even close to a fair match.
The US has been fighting wars for the past.... Well... Basically always. I think this still is an advantage China is missing. But the economic war might be another beast.
The US military is a paper tiger, designed and optimize to funnel public funds to military shareholders pockets. and it's extremely effective at only that.
When it comes to actual war, it is useless and ends up delegating actual war to mercenary groups.
This all doesn't really matter in a war between nuclear powers. The US isn't going to lose by itself.
I hate that I might be witness to the Great Filter, and finally have an answer to the Fermi Paradox
