I dunno. On a global scale, maybe it would be a good thing if America fell. Our economic system is so backwards compared to the rest of the world and our bloated military budget makes us the scariest boogieman for every other nation on earth, so I can see a lot of people being quite happy if that just went away.
Of course, that's assuming it DID just simply "go away." The reality is, if we fall too far, we're going to use that bloated military to try to climb back out of our hole and that won't be pretty. Especially with a commander in chief like Trump.
I still think the people who put Trump in power are a bigger threat than Trump himself. I'm a little scared what would happen if they elected someone who is just as extreme but they actually understand politics and diplomacy.
The bloated military budget is by far the most scary aspect about what the U.S might cause.
It leads to the stacking of arms; from small arms up to nuclear weapons.
Those arms won't stay in U.S bases: but they will be periodically used or sold to the highest bidder: even nuclear bombs.
Trump is backed by strong wings -especially the Oligarch wing-, that wing already has Putin and China in its pocket. Imagine the nightmare when dictators like the Sauds hold a nuclear bomb -purchased-.
I think Iran too is in the same pocket especially after the bad scenario we saw yesterday.
After Trump I'm sure other "Trumps" would rain at the White House.
