What "managed decline"? The U.S. is arguably as strong as its ever been, and China's economy has been crashing recently.

The implications in this thread that US citizens are soon going to be running for their lives from foreign threats seem incredibly paranoid -- the sort of thing I'd expect to see in a ZeroHedge or InfoWars comment section, not on this forum.

The US stock market is as strong as its ever been. The allocation of capital past that is conducted in a way that doesn't bring much widespread or strategic benefit.
