US Hegemony is done with

The Fish always rots from the Head...

The World Community cannot and won't be bullied or controlled by the Corporate and Donor Occupied Territory aka Washington, DC anymore. The US Government is Financially, Economically, Militarily, and Morally Bankrupt. The United States Government lives entirely on printed Phony Monopoly Money from the Federal Reserve.

The US Military is unsustainable, unaffordable, and unable to recruit new Soldiers, Sailors Airmen and Marines. Boneheaded Wars for Oil, Wars of Aggression, Wars of Attrition and Wars of Subsidization fomented for Corporate Interests has hallowed it out. Those who joined the US Military are disgusted by the Woke Memes and the US Government who promoted havoc and chaos with 800+ Military Bases as provocations and tripwires. Military Spending is Corporate Welfare for the “Defense” Corporations, building Weapons suited for the Wars of the dustbins of History.


I expect 2026 and beyond to be a profound "Come to Jesus" moment for the American Public, Taxpayers, and Consumers who couldn't be bothered to educate themselves on Economics, Math, and US History. While nothing is certain, new paradigms in Finance, Economics, Geopolitics, and Energy will be crucial for Investors.

Of particular importance is the US Government's Economic and Financial precarity, which is rapidly deteriorating. American Taxpayers and Consumers are complacent, yet they know about the ticking Time Bomb of Debt. Nothing has happened YET, however, the paradigm shift will be very rapid, shattering Conventional, Mental, and Financial models for the Debt Bomb💣.

In 2024, A crucial tipping point was when the Interest expense on the Debt exceeded the Military Budget. It's exceeding Entitlements becoming the BIGGEST Line Item in History.


Historian Niall Ferguson:
“Any great Power that spends more on Debt Service (Interest payments on the National Debt) than on Defense will not stay great for very long".


The US Government will be forced to:
• Cut Military Spending amid the most chaotic Geopolitical period since WW2.

• Default on promises of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans’ Benefits, Government Pensions, and Welfare generally. The United States Government can't afford so called Entitlements, Unfunded Liabilities, and Military Spending since they're are growing exponentially, I've seen the ungodly numbers for these Promises and they're frightening.

Baby Boomers—22% of the Population have and are already Retired. Exposing the truth about the Entitlement Ponzi Scheme the Government ensnared them in will be met with Anger, Civil Unrest, Hostility, Rioting/Looting. Baby Boomers and the Disabled cannot and will not survive since the Federal Reserve's printed Monopoly Money will be worthless and the Resources will not exist. Their Gen X and Millennial Adult Children or Extended Family Members won't have the Resources to care for them either, since it'll be Survival of the Fittest.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recently told us: “Barely staying even with Inflation or worse is wholly inadequate. Significant additional resources for Defense are necessary and urgent.” That statement by itself says it all.

In short, cutting US Expenditures are meaningless unless the US Government takes the chainsaw to Entitlements, Military, and Welfare Spending while cutting away at the Interest on the National Debt. The United States will be forced to kill the Welfare/Warfare State and liquidate the National Debt.

It'll be an inevitable shock of the rejection of the Dollar as the World's Reserve Currency, an Economic Collapse and Financial Crash for the inept American Public, Taxpayers, and Consumers to kick the obsessive addiction to the Welfare/Warfare State.


The facts speak for themselves;
Elon Musk and DOGE were set up for failure. US Expenditures have nowhere to go but up. The US Government will try to have its cake and eat it too by Spending for Military and Domestic Obligations via Currency Debasement (Printing Phony Monopoly Money). It’s a self-perpetuating Stupidity Squared they can't escape. A runaway Freight Train with no brakes.


“We owe it to ourselves.”
“Deficits don’t matter.”
“US Treasuries are Risk-Free return.”
“The National Debt is sustainable as long as we can print money.”
“The US will never Default.”
"You're Unpatriotic"
"You're Un American"
"You don't care about America"
"You're Heartless"
" You don't care about your Fellow Man"... are a few of the delusions have long since come to an end.

I can hardly wait for the very harsh Reality Check the American Public and Taxpayers who believe this nonsense will get. Those not prepared for the bottom to drop out of the World's Reserve Currency Status of the US Dollar, will find the Piper at their Doors demanding to be Paid!


The rate of Currency Debasement will far exceed the nominal yield that US Treasuries and Bonds will offer. Taxpayers, Companies, and other Sovereign Countries will rightly look for alternatives for their Savings to preserve Purchasing Power. They're parking their Savings in Commodities and Precious Metals.


It's been rightly said;

"It's easier to Fool someone than to convince them they got played for a Fool"

Promises are a comfort to a Fool... The United States Government made Promises to American Voters they never could deliver in the first place, and the American Electorate foolishly believed them.

At some point, You cannot rob Peter to pay Paul, you cannot rob Tom to pay Peter and Paul, and you cannot ask Jane to subsidize all this either.

When you make a deal with the Devil, he's eventually coming to collect his due one way or another.

28% of the works goods are sold here... we'll enjoy watching their economies collapse.

The USA to the rest of the world, has always been perceived as nothing more than store shelves in a faraway foreign land where manufactured goods are sent to be sold to unwary Americans who will buy anything under the sun if it looks shiny and bright and sparkles when they shake it.

The USA being perceived by the world as a giant Costco store, rents out its American shelf space to the highest bidder and charges tariffs to that country for the luxury of placing manufactured goods on American store shelves.

World economies are not collapsing as a result of Trump's tariff fees that have been imposed on those other countries who sell their wares in America, those other world economies are instead rebounding from the deadlock they had very stupidly subjected themselves to in past decades, by relying solely on America as a solid Trading partner, which the USA is not.

Consequently, those other Nations have found other non-tariffed store selves around the world to display and to sell their wares on and everyone in the world except the USA, is doing just fine as a result of this global pivot adjustment.

The only world economy that is teetering in the wind right now is the US economy and in particular, the value of the US Dollar who's value is based solely on 'Goodwill' and certainly not based on anything tangible.

America's glory days are over, but those glory days that Trump often reflects upon, were actually over long before Trump ever showed up in politics. Trump merely accelerated the pace of the unraveling US economy but he is not responsible for what he alone will ultimately be blamed for, though the optics of his mismanagement style would suggest otherwise.

@CougarLisa explaining economics to someone on SW is like explaining puberty to a 9 year old : they won’t believe a word you say .

@AthrillatheHunt
...except the difference between puberty and what CougarLisa is trying to sell at the circus is that puberty is a very real thing.
CougarLisa · 36-40, F
@swirlie no... we're not the store, the world is our store! That's why they need us to buy their goods... otherwise, they starve!

The world doesn't need the USA, Lisa! That's where your delusional perspective of self-importance as an American, got you off on the wrong foot in life shortly after you were born.

@swirlie every manufacturer in the world dreams of selling in the US market. We are the most coveted market on the planet .

@swirlie that's why when the US economy has a recession the developed countries have one ,too... riiight...
swirlie · 31-35
@CougarLisa
Sorry to be the one to break the news to you Lisa, but the US is in recession right now, which is being fueled by America's $38Trillion dollar debt... however Canada is not in recession... and neither are any of the Scandinavian or European countries in recession alongside the US... and neither is China in recession, Lisa!

This is all because the US is no longer Canada's primary trading partner because of the Trump-imposed tariffs, which means Canada trades elsewhere among other free-trade Nations and does virtually no business anymore with the US, nor is the USA the primary trading partner of most European nations anymore either which means Europeans are now trading intercontinentally instead of internationally and are doing very well at it!

You honestly need to do some homework before you come on here Lisa because you have a delusional perspective of what America's status truly is on the global stage. You have to understand that the USA owns nothing but a failing economy which is not at all affecting the GDP of Canada, other than making Canada's GDP rise from the gains Canada has made by exiting the US marketplace.

@swirlie I didn't read past the first line because your information is so inaccurate. US debt is actually at over $250 trillion! The USA is not in a recession, that is a liberal pipe dream! Even here in my own state an economic professor just announced last week that our state has entered a recession, and he was met with harsh criticism from other economists; some in his own department.

Back to our debt, over 75% of it is irrelevant due to the fact it was created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve. The Fed creates money out of nothing, then charges our government interest on money it could make interest free without them. A simple vote in congress to abolish the Federal Reserve would eliminate over 75% of all US debt!

Please, before you spew anymore low brow, uneducated economic opinions read a book! I can suggest you start with one of Milton Friedman's.

Lisa, you are a typical American who lives within the delusion of American grandiosity. What else have you got for me that might be relevant, Lisa?
