America will not collapse and America is not doomed. Pessimism and talk of crisis are always the biggest news getter than stability. This is why you hear about the end of America. Here is a fact, you can not argue, I live in Eastern Europe and you have no idea how rich America is in terms of land and resources and people. In fact, you could say Americans are spoiled for not seeing this. Short of some natural cosmic disaster there is no way America will collapse.
Perceived threats against America
- National debt – This is real and is the greatest threat to the United States, but in the end it is a paper financial threat of collapse. The buildings will not disappear nor will the people.
- Immigration – Will change the landscape of America but not destroy it and America will not collapse because of it, even if the population doubled as long as the people are productive and adding value there will be no Malthusian doomsday.
- Global competition – will lower the USA’s relative wealth but not absolute.
- A virus – Unlikely despite the Hollywood hype, as humans have been on the earth for 100,000 years and if anything we are strong and more advanced.
- Terror threats – These are senseless acts that hurt innocent people but do nothing to the moral or spirit of America.
- Capitalism is evil and Americans will be punished for their greed – This ridiculous, capitalism is good for the poor and made all Americans rich, if you think I am wrong, check out the post Soviet lifestyle.
- Can you think of any doom-sayers threats to America which might make it collapse?
What do you think is the greatest threat to America and do you think there is any chance it would collapse in the coming years? Is the US over? I think not by a long shot.

Doubt that America will collapse for a long time if we ever collapse at all. Fact of the matter is that we are almost out of the recession and when we get out of the recession it will be dangerous because we will probably see a China like boom. Can’t wait for that day to come so we can finally show the world what a stable economy looks like again.
The recovery or even market turning points come when people have given up hope. I do not know if we will have a boom, but America will not collapse. There is too much wealth in the USA. Some black hole is not going to swallow up all the houses and cars and businesses. It is a financial crisis which means a redistribution of wealth, but it will not bring the end of the USA.
Eventually America will collapse
Haha I laugh at those who think America will never collapse. Look at the history of every group that claimed to be the superpower of the world and look at what happened to them, they collapsed and another group took over.
America is not going to rule the world forever, sooner or later they will crumble.
What are we living in the time of the Roman Empire? America might not exist in 500 years. but not from collapse. Excluding natural disasters, what might happen is it will change radically, maybe be part of a North American super state or relative position of wealth decline so much. There is no way to predict the future, but I can not see the United States of America collapsing and disappearing anytime soon. How would that happen?
Of course I can think of a threat
1. Tens of trillions of dollars in out-of-control derivatives.
2. Ongoing wars and increasing cost of homeland security program.
3. Collapsing dollar due to chronic trade deficits. This will not wipe out America, it will just bring it to the same level as China.
4. Etc.
The USA is an Empire which is over extended. I have returned to the USA after ten years of living abroad and all I see is people getting whatever jobs and not moving ahead. We fight undeclared wars and spend trillions on defending other people, but do not taking care of our own. If we spend all we did on foreigner wars on education we would have solved so many of our problems regarding energy and science for example.
That being said, there is nothing to make it fall and be divided. What will happen is in the next fifty years we will have a slow growth track of debt and spending until inflation kicks in.
