what do they mean by a country collapsing?
like what am I meant to picture
the breakup of the USSR?
it feels like we're at the period in history where every country is thoroughly established and anyone who isn't a moron understands that changes like california or texas leaving the union would leave both entities much worse off
anyone doing imperialistic land grabs like russia or china are considered completely contemptable by the rest of the world, borders changing and territories changing hands are pretty much a thing of the past
or do they just mean things getting worse and no longer being a world power? that's possible, but things will get equally bad for everyone else at the same time, so every country will be "collapsing" in that way
