Seems to me that I remember many SCI-FI novels of 50 years ago which adopted a concept of huge geographical areas in conflict??? Unfortunately, I see little of value for U.S. citizens in such a future!
Dilution of individual rights and reduction of economic standards is the inevitable outcome! No wonder that SCI-FI writers always had scenarios where freedom existed on far-flung planetary frontiers while decadence and all manner of societal decay reigned on "Mother Earth"!
Rather prophetic in retrospect.......
