I dont think the US can help war mongering. Its the basis on which it was formed and came to be a superpower through war. It figures. Almost every US diplomatic relationship is tied to their military in some shape or form. Which is absurd.

But yes. The US has been in decline for a while, possibly propped up by tech and financial markets but there too is a paper fire. The rest of the world has the skills to run their own financial markets and tech but without the excess central bank printed money that passes as capital in that part of the world.

The solution really is simple though. Stop spending so much money on the military, get your house in order, and make some real friends. Sortie when a real war is threatening peace. Might take a while to do but its simple and easy.
