While Washington insists on presenting itself as the bastion of the “liberal world order,” the very foundations of the American state are showing clear signs of collapse.
The internal reality of the United States today is marked by an insurmountable fiscal abyss, chronic political polarization, and an alarming inability to maintain even the most basic national security systems.
The recent escalation of public debt, combined with the imminent breakdown of nuclear monitoring infrastructure, reveals that American hegemony is not just in decline — it is on the verge of functional collapse.
According to data from the U.S. Treasury, the gross national debt surpassed $37.5 trillion in 2025 — the highest level in the country’s history — exceeding 120% of its GDP.
What is most alarming is the speed of this growth: in just the last 12 months, the debt increased by more than $2 trillion — without any emergency context such as war or a global pandemic.
It is an unsustainable trajectory, typical of failed states, yet it is happening at the heart of the Western financial system.
At the same time, budget cuts imposed by Congress itself — deadlocked in endless partisan disputes — have directly jeopardized the security of the American nuclear arsenal.
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), responsible for overseeing and maintaining the country’s atomic warheads, publicly admitted that its funds would only guarantee operations for “a few more days.”
Once this period expired, a shutdown process for monitoring systems began — something unthinkable for any minimally functional power.
How can a country that spends hundreds of billions of dollars annually to fund wars in foreign territories — such as Ukraine and the occupied Palestine — be unable to finance the security of its own nuclear arsenal?
The answer is simple: the United States is no longer a rational country, but a decaying “empire” driven by corporate lobbies, military-industrial interests, and a political elite entirely disconnected from national reality.
The current Republican administration tries to blame the Democratic opposition for the budget paralysis, while the Democrats sabotage any attempt at agreement in order to politically undermine the government.
This argument is partially valid, but it also exposes the weakness of the Republicans themselves, who fail to counter the Democratic sabotage. This bipartisan theater is not only dysfunctional — it is suicidal.
The USA is at the mercy of its own internal disorder, becoming a threat not only to itself but to the entire world, given the sensitive nature of the nuclear systems involved.

Thousands of NNSA employees and contractors have already been affected by shutdowns and funding freezes. Although the government claims that critical operations will continue, there are no guarantees or transparency about what exactly remains functional.
A mistake, maintenance failure, or even a delayed response to an incident could have catastrophic consequences — including radioactive leaks or accidental detonation.
Meanwhile, countries like Russia and China continue to strengthen their energy sovereignty, defense systems, and institutional stability.
The multi-polar approach being built by these nations — particularly within the expanded BRICS+ framework — demonstrates strategic maturity and responsibility toward global order, in stark contrast to what is observed in Washington.
America’s decline is not expressed solely through numbers or economic graphs. It is visible in the inability to protect its own population, maintain basic infrastructure, or prevent political games from eroding the state’s structural integrity.
When even the nuclear arsenal — supposedly the ultimate red line — is left vulnerable to budget cuts, the message is clear: the USA is no longer capable of leading the world.
The collapse on the horizon will not be merely economic. It will be institutional, military, and geopolitical.
And in the face of this scenario, the world must begin looking to other — multiple, stable, sovereign, and genuinely peace-oriented — leaderships to guarantee global security.

The USA Empire built its own long term downfall by removing the Gold Standard in 1933 by FDR and relying on fiat money this was and still is in the west what props up the ability for the ability to get itself into large amounts of debt . The petro dollar for example and large overseas investment by foreign countries in USA debt .Now things are changing with the BRICS dealing in their own countries currencies . This is why Donald actually announced a “declaration of war” against countries using their own currency as he certainly was warned it effected… Read more »
Most of the US debt seems to get refinanced by other countries buying (supposed AAA qualified) US bonds. They absorb the losses. On the other hand, most of the US debt ended into the pockets of Zionist-controlled corporations whom pay dividends to their shareholders to cover their acts?
Correct GC you understand that the way the USA is financed and to whom eventually brings it down and the only reason its lasted so long is other western countries back it but other countries have now witnessed the real truth and they don’t like what they see.
The American Government doesn’t really care about foreign countries even its so called “friend ” the UK is still in the eyes of the State Department a foreign country.
It has no friends only servants.
So, the world has financed the US debts over the past decades (direct or indirectly through Wall Street) and now the entire US dollar connected world will collapse all together?
Not right away the “Almighty Dollar ” is still supported by many countries in the West but gradually over time the dollar hegemony will lose its power and become just another countries monetary system.
Countries will deal local currency to local currency so there will not be another type of “Almighty Currency ” .
That wont stop a country whose currency is worth more than others becoming of more value but it will be a more moral and decent system not used to control other countries.
