    It all comes down to economics in the end. All these governments have to have at least some level of legitimacy to stay in power, and if the economic situation continues to deteriorate then we’ll see more and more of what’s happening in Argentina and Chile with growing public unrest and political instability. Meanwhile, the US ability to provide military strength has also been greatly diminished over the past three years. The US is literally not able to keep up with military production to shore up its proxy war in Ukraine. On top of that, they’re propping up Israel, and attempting to confront China. The empire is spread very thin right now.
