No we’re at the end of an empire and the dawn of a new world. Our bases across the middle east will be abandoned. More will be emptied or destroyed. Our influence across the world will shrink more than it is now.
The states we have may stay. Alaska might try to break off and join Canada in 50 years. Hawaii might join Australia and New Zealand as well.
Unless we get a political party that will advocate for taxing the fuck out of the rich to invest in america via trains, healthcare and R&D.
Don’t get your hopes up.
Alaska might try to break off and join Canada in 50 years.
I wish we would do that today. But unless the military and oil leaves the state, we’re still carpetbagged by southern evangelical morons. This state is solid red for now. And they think Canada is socialist because they think it’s bad and that’s all they know. We’re not going anywhere.

Whatever may come, there is one sure thing: nobody will trust the US ever again. It may take the old allies a while to find their footing and they may still be dependant on the US. But that relationship will be more like that of the abusive caretaker vs abused teen. Biding their time until they finally can exit the dependance.
