Considering how United States economy has been a Ponzi scheme for a very long time, there is no doubt that it will collapse at some point and there are a lot of "info" a bout it everywhere you look. The thing is, people don't want to accept ugly truths and prefer living in denial. Additionally it is not possible to predict "when" that collapse will occur, "how big" will that collapse be, and "what" happens next.

Take the 2008 collapse.
It was impossible to predict "when" it happened. Many people were warning for years before it happened and yet the corrupt structure were being kept alive artificially and by more fraud.
It was impossible to predict "how bit" that collapse would be, we now know though.
Most importantly we couldn't predict the next step. You see, the Ponzi scheme didn't die, it just got bigger to survive that collapse and postpone the catastrophe and that scam has continued to this day.

The USA financial system is now close to collapse we are few days away from default.
In this case only way untfortunately will be full scale war.
The amount of debt ....it can not be balanced out with small crisis.

The problem is the nonstop printing of dollar out of thin air while keeping its value up artificially. Otherwise they'd just increase the debt ceiling again and default is averted.

As for war, that too costs a lot of money. Money US regime no longer has. Specially in today's world where "fighting cheap" wins you wars not "fighting big with a lot of money".

Take the ongoing war against a prison called Gaza. The entire NATO is helping the genocide with hundreds of billions of dollars and over that past 4-5 months their only achievement they had was killing innocent civilians while the damage on the armed forces of Gaza has been so minimal that it is negligible!!!
Why? Because a $6-$7 million tank can be blown up with a cigarette lighter that's worth like 5 bucks or a Yasin anti-tank missile worth 100 bucks. Or a $30 million US stealth aircraft can be shot down like a piece of cake with a missile that costs a grand.

Although we can't factor in the stupidity of decision makers, but US has fallen behind the military technology and strength. There is no way for the regime to win any wars anymore.

I remember the times of the USSR, when we were told every day, on all 3 TV channels (and there were no more), about the "rotting US economy", about the imminent collapse of their economy, and a bunch of similar "nice articles" like pooya87

. But. The USA is still the world leader, the USSR has dissolved into history leaving a toxic stain in the form of an international terrorist country. And what about Iran, whose representative so regularly talks about the problem and the impending collapse of the US economy ?

Instead of a thousand words, one graph. No, this is not a graph of growth of wealth of Iran's inhabitants, and not a graph of growth of Iran's military-industrial complex, and not a graph of population growth.... It's a graph of the total failure of the Iranian rial.... But for some reason pooya87 never says a word about it ! The question is why ? Grin

Why no info about how serious are Iran financial situation now ? Grin

Why are you suddenly so interested in Iran's economy? Last time I checked it was doing ok. It's growing, you can check the stats, but nobody really cares because it's world's #19 economy not world's #1 like the US. Rial is getting weaker? So what? Inflation doesn't necessarily mean that country's economy is failing. But you don't undertand or you pretend you don't understand because you're a lying troll. Cool
