My fear is that the only competent branch of the federal government, the DOD, will now be blamed for the looting of our treasury by this administration. And resulting in the further decimation of our Military.
The growing burdens of the aging US population and the exploding federal deficit risk turning the federal government into little more than a funding mechanism for debt turnover, with what is left over being devoted to elder care and a military reliant on overused and obsolete ships, tanks, and aircraft.
Fortunately, everyone else who could be a peer competitor is worse off, with China already approaching a combined demographic, economic, and financial crisis that will make predictions of a "Chinese Century" laughable. Russia is a malignant gangster state that also faces a demographic crisis and a crisis in legitimacy when Putin passes from the scene. Due to the demographic waning of the native population and uncontrolled immigration, Europe will be in civil disorder within a decade.
