Is like the country is not already collapsing due to lack of social services compared to the supposed enemy which already has higher lifespan while having 10x lower gdp per capita.


Not a serious problem in the same sense that a military conflict would be. Different categories and different concerns.


The US is not “collapsing” and we have plenty of social services.

Our lifespan is lower because we’re fat.


Isn't that because of deaths of despair, namely by drugs? Why are there so many desperate people in the US if the country is doing ok?


And because of gun violence.
