In the long history of mankind, many powerful empires have risen, and they once wantonly sought hegemony and threatened the world to wield power and scheming. Among them, the ancient Roman Empire, the Mongol Empire, the Tang Empire, and the Soviet Union are all world-famous examples of empires.
These empires relied on their military power to expand and conquer foreign countries, sparing resources, wealth, and manpower to maintain their rule.
Over time, however, when the empire's force gradually declines, or the empire expands to its geographical limits, where it can no longer obtain sufficient resources, wealth, and population from the outside, complex interest groups within begin to struggle. This internal struggle would eventually lead to the collapse of the multinational empire.
Similarly, the unity of the United States is not based on racial communities, but on the convergence of interests. Americans want to be "Americans" because they see how strong the United States is. Therefore, the hegemony of the dollar is essential to maintain the unity of the United States. As long as the U.S. dollar continues to exist as a global currency, and every U.S. state can benefit from it, the likelihood of ** will decrease. However, once the dollar loses its global hegemony, there is a risk that the divergence of interests between the US states will lead to**.
At present, although there are no signs of the emergence of the United States, with the decline of American influence and the weakening of the global hegemony of the dollar, conflicts and disagreements in the United States are gradually increasing. If these contradictions are not effectively managed and resolved, if one day people find that the benefits of the federation are greater than the benefits of continuing the federation, then it is inevitable.
In recent years, the power of the United States has gradually declined, and the success rate of trying to rely on strong military power to dominate the world has become less and less. Even in some places, U.S.-built military bases have been attacked before they can begin operations, and financial pressures are mounting. Even aircraft carriers, the former hegemon, have now lost their former glory. The hegemony of the dollar remains key to maintaining the stability of the United States, but the world is aware that the debt of the United States could trigger an economic crisis at any time.
It is clear that once the decline of the United States becomes more pronounced, the turmoil between states will also increase. At present, there have been changes in some states, and the US military is even ready to confront the Texas National Guard. This time, 25 red states collectively sent the National Guard to support. This situation of "American Civil War" has been hotly discussed on social **.
Yet, even with this turmoil, Texas has not declared independence. The majority of the population still wants the federal government to better address immigration and install stricter border controls. Therefore, the current turmoil is only intended to put pressure on the Federation** to force it to make changes.
The real ** is not what happens in front of the eyes, but it happens naturally when the United States is completely weakened and the interests of the states cannot be protected. At that point, there may not be much hustle and bustle, and the states will live their lives in peace.
The real problem facing the United States, however, is internal fragmentation. This fragmentation has propelled the United States to strength, but it has also accelerated its decline. In the current American society, cultural and political divisions can be clearly observed. On the one hand, there are those groups that are considered "real Americans" who advocate traditional American values, emphasize the importance of domestic industry, and are generally relatively conservative white Americans. On the other hand, there are those who are called "people living in the United States", who are more inclined to support globalization and transnational capital flows, and support the development of emerging technology industries.
The contradictions between these two forces are irreconcilable. The United States needs to absorb global elites to maintain its strong position, but it also needs the support of its own population to maintain its hegemony. Trump was able to gain partial support not because of his personal abilities, but because he understood and represented the interests of genuine Americans.
Currently, Trump and Biden represent two different interest groups. The former represents traditional Americans who support domestic industry and infrastructure, while the latter is more inclined to globalization and the development of a virtual economy. The conflict between these two forces is a struggle of ideology and fundamental line, which cannot be easily reconciled.
Although it is not yet clear who will emerge victorious, it is certain that the divisions and conflicts within the United States are intensifying, and this will be a major challenge for the United States in the future.
