The US is in a golden age ( again )

The US today is entering another golden age. All of the problems the US found itself burdened with in the 20th century are now being solved in the 21st century. Every single issue they faced, every single loss, every single setback, has turned tail and is being turned into a final victory. For all intents and purposes we have seen a few decades of the US returning to its core followed by a new age of expansion taking over the world. All the signs are there and they point towards a permanent, ever growing US hegemony.

In North America the US has already captured the market of the entire continent, with the US GDP making up more than 85% of the GDP of North America. For all intents and purposes, the US owns the North American continent. Based on current projections, the US share of the continents GDP is only going to keep increasing over time as Canada's GDP and Mexico's GDP continue to grow at rates slower than the US.

In Europe since the war between Russia and Ukraine began, the entire continent has become even more dependent on US weapons imports. The French dream of going independent has pretty much failed to blossom and in the longer run, with Europe continuing to stagnate well behind the US, it is pretty much guaranteed that the US is going to own Europe is all but name. The Germans remain the biggest power in Europe and their economy remains stagnant, forcing Germany to become ever more dependent on the US to run things for them. The US in this manner owns two continents.

In Oceania the US has ever strengthening alliances and partnerships with Australia, the biggest player in the region. Australia is ever increasingly dependent on the US for military technology as they find the French to be unreliable partners and have already suffered from being too dependent on China for trade. The US thus owns three continents in total.

In the middle east the greatest challenge to the US was Saudi Arabia and Iran. Saudi Arabia for its willingness to fund extremists and Iran because of its hatred of the US. The US has successfully managed to turn Saudi Arabia into a long term ally who will never act against US interests in the middle east. The US has managed to further weaken Iran over time as it continues to fund Israel to destroy any and all extremist elements in the middle east. Iran has also never managed to fully recover from previous sanctions on it from the US. The US has thus weakened its enemies in the middle east to the point where they will never be able to stop US interests nor be able to ever harm Israel in the long run. The middle east for all intents and purposes has been disarmed.

Russia has for decades tried to act as the face of the anti-west bloc on the world stage. Over the past decades the GDP of Russia has stagnated and failed to grow and prosper. Russia set itself up for a war with Ukraine and is currently stuck in a long term stalemate the effect of which is a further weakening of the state of Russia with every passing year. The US has gone on to send more and more military assets to Ukraine to keep the war going and in the short and medium term Russia continues to weaken and has no good future ahead of it. The US has for all intents and purposes beaten Russia down to the point of no longer being even a middling power of relevance.

The greatest rival of the US in the 21st century is said to be China. China that kept growing with the help of US trade and kept trying to gain more power against the US at the same time. Right now China appears to be permanently stuck two to three decades behind the US and the Chinese economy is slowing down bit by bit every 5 years as their population has finally begun to decline. A decline that will be akin to an avalanche once it kicks in due to the one child policy China once implemented to control its population growth. China ended up shooting itself in the foot in such a manner as to guarantee that in the long run they will never be able to overtake the US. In this manner the US has a guaranteed win against its biggest rival in the 21st century.

The US GDP appears to go through a crisis every decade and a half, but what most people do not realize is that generally these crisis exist at a global level, and the US has shown itself more than able to recover from these crisis far better than the rest of the world. Every time one of these global economic crisis occurs, the US ends up getting an ever further head start on the rest of the world as it gets further ahead by recovering faster.

The US population, while consistently below replacement, has shown a capacity to keep growing over time, year on year, at a stable rate, with how well its immigration policy is managed. The US can easily keep growing by 0.5% every single year till the end of the century without any real issues along the way. The population growth of the US is thus secured.

The US has continued to lead in the global tech sector, and while there are some countries that have shown signs of catching up, they are once again beginning to show signs of getting left behind as the US leads in AI and uses this AI lead to act as the backbone of the next generation of research and development, allowing for it to develop far better cowtools far faster than other economies that are dependent on human labor by itself. The US thus has a permanent tech lead which will only continue to expand over time.

The rest of the world continues to slow down over time. The rest of the world continues to show signs of slowing down when it comes to population growth, GDP growth, and technological innovation. The US meanwhile maintains a consistent growth rate which means that the US beats the rest of the world simply by maintaining the current trajectory and letting the rest of the world fall behind that trajectory. The US has in this manner beat Europe and is well on its way to beat China in a similar manner followed by India down the line.

Based on all of the above we can see that the US is living in a golden age of its own where it is able to compete against entire continents head on without losing and over time will have the entire world fall behind it. The only challenges that persist in the US are internal, and as of now none of them are strong enough to destabilize and break apart the US from the inside any time soon.

We can expect the US to overtake the continent of Asia before 2100 and for China's economy to begin stagnating or at the very least fall behind the economy of the US by 2035 in terms of annual growth. As the US continues to win ever harder year by year, and decade by decade, two possibilities exist for how the rest of the world responds. The first possibility being that the rest of the world continues on its current trajectory where everybody just accepts that the US is so far above them there is no point in planning for competing with them in any manner and continue to compete against the rest of the world instead, maintaining their feuds and intrigues against one another, or the less likely second possibility where as the middle powers of the world fall ever further behind the US, they begin to merge together to form a minimum floor for their strength to be able to remain the slightest bit relevant on the world stage. We can expect the emergence of an EU of the middle east, an EU of Africa, an EU of South America, an EU of East Asia, another EU of South Asia, and a EU of Oceania, and a EU of South Asia.

The US in its current form is not going to change until and unless it finds itself faced with a competitor severe enough as to force it to change to adapt to it. For this century the US is going to maintain its current trajectory, with a two party system, high levels of liberalism, and maintaining its current borders without expanding further out into the world. The biggest long term impact on the world is going to be that the world is going to be the breaking of the non-American spirit and the decline of non-American cultures as they would have no actual deeds to prove their superiority, getting cucked by America every step of the way.

The population collapse of South America, Russia, East Asia, is still guaranteed. Along with the population explosion and isolation of Africa ensuring that they would remain the poorest continent in the world. The so called bottom floor for what a human can be. Which is someone starving every single day, without access to clean drinking water, and no meaningful protections from the state.

Conclusion:

The US is moving into another golden age which will be very noticeable from 2035 onward. They are going to have their GDP surpass the entirety of Asia before 2100 and will surpass the GDP of the entire rest of the world before 2200.

The US owns the world and its GDP surpassing that of Asia will force the rest of the world to rethink how it works and form new nation states at the regional scale.

Good luck.
