At the current state of geopolitics, this is basically calling for WW3 in the next decade. US economic hegemony is on super shaky ground right now.

I'd be curious what geopolitical framework/elements/theory of power you're basing your analysis on.

Thesis: US global power will continue to wane as long as the domestic situation (socioeconomic, cultural, institutional) worsens and geopolitical multipolarity is established by China. And that's okay, time's up! As long as the US doesn't do something enormously stupid in retaliation.

It's not coming out of a textbook if that's what you're wondering.
