"The implicit final stage of this process is, once again, the self-cannibalisation of the system, if and when the sources of loot outside the ‘closed system’ are exhausted. We have not yet seen this in dramatic form in the case of the era of US world hegemony. But history does provide the example of the Nazi period in Germany, when Hjalmar Schacht, Hitler’s finance minister, ran up a huge debt pyramid to finance German rearmament in the 1933-1938 period, while holding real wages at 50 percent of 1929 levels. The difference between Germany then and the US today is that Germany had been shorn of most of its external sources of loot after its defeat in 1918, and hence had to seize some new ones militarily after 1938.

Something similar could happen in the US-centred system if and when the US loses its ability to tap wealth throughout the world with dollar denominated accumulation, and one can, without exaggeration, see US foreign policy today as a worldwide extension of the underlying dynamic of German expansion under Hitler, minus the total internal implosion of American society – so far."

Answer 1

The problem is that the US isnt expanding to capture resources. If that were the case we wouldn't have started with Iraq.

Mexico is a much more viable option!!

Answer 2

you're actual precise. the u . s . is going to get further and extra unpredictable in the subsequent decade; the ecu, the %, India, Brazil, Canada, Japan... a number of those worldwide places are beginning to rival the u . s .'s financial power. the u . s .'s economic equipment is slipping mutually as the chinese language manufacture the u . s .'s products for them and the Canadians sell them their oil and electric powered power. that is a disgrace; the u . s . was an extremely cool us of a. yet because of the fact the tip of the chilly war, or maybe for the duration of the chilly war, the u . s . has grow to be too pleased with itself. No "superpower" has ever completely stayed one. all and sundry has left its legacy, yet history has shown that the small yet desperate worldwide places occupied by utilising the superpower have a miles better will than the superpower to hold onto them. I have little doubt that the u . s . will continuously be a useful us of a. that is complicated to declare how long this might persist. the reason the worldwide has submit with that is because of the u . s .'s militia power, and willingness to apply it. additionally, NATO retains countless worldwide places below American administration, inspite of the headquarters of NATO being in Europe. the placement is extremely undesirable in Canada; militarily conversing, Canada would not own its own air area; that is below joint administration below NORAD. i think of that in the time of the subsequent decade we would be seeing a upward push in patriotism in many of the worldwide's worldwide places, and an unravelling of yankee administration over worldwide places including those in NATO.

Answer 3

Greetings. ever read Ary Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged? You will find in there what you described. U.S. is among the robbers now. We used to be the producers of wealth, now we are the looters of it. Just as in her novel. Times are not looking very rosy for us at present. if we were a business I would say that we would be forced to do a radical restructuring of our business and the disposal of all of our chief officers to be replaced by ones that actually knew what they were doing. But we can't do that. so we seem to be doomed to be flushed away instead.
