Ahhh so you don't trust govts yet you parrot their statistics. Here's what you still don't get. If you have agency and resolve America is still the best place to be if you want to be wealthy. Gerrymandering has nothing to do with minerals lol. Red tape can be cut or ignored if govts decide its in their interest to do so. And apparently the current administration thinks just that so they are rebuilding foundational infrastructure to get those resources. And yeah it won't be quick but at least we have them, which is more than most other countries who claim some moral superiority mantle lol. Chinese engineers are not better than US engineers, although I'll admit that's subjective. The Chinese copy ideas/products and get educated in US universities. They have better scale due to subsidized industries curated by a centralized govt that rules with an iron fist. Also, if we imported the best engineers for decades and they're still here doing work for US companies than we still do indeed have the best engineers. Thanks for making my point. "Its this inability to look critically and pretending like your still on top of the heap which will be your undoing." Haha okay dude. China is not on top and never will be. They are an equal in some respects, and that's okay. No one is saying that the US could win a ground war in China or make trillions of cheap dogshit products that break after 10 uses. But those things don't make China better than the US. You've been listening to too many podcasters and YouTubers that have no idea what they're talking about. The best outcome is that no one is "on top" but if someone is on top than it will be the US. Your insistance that America will crumble is not a serious position based in reality. You don't like Trump, okay. Most people don't really like him either, but he's one man in charge of something he cant control, he simply postures as if he can. The greatness of the US is not derived from one man or the yes men who say mean things that surround him. I also love the idea that the US can't "produce its own weapons" lol that's a stupid leftist talking point and can be soundly ignored. I know you didn't make this point but its commonly thrown in when parroting the same nonsense you driveled on about above.

I don't think you understand America at all. You look at it through an internet/media lens which is not correct. If you believe the US is in trouble, Europe will collapse decades before the US does. The US has unlimited energy, minerals and raw materials. The US has the best scientists and engineers.The US still provides the best opportunity for poor people to become rich. These things actually matter. The president is a 4 year figure head that will eventually go. Does the US have problems? Absolutely. Is the rest of world fucked if the US loses its standing? Absolutely. The US does not need the Europeans as allies. Europe is a US vacation spot, nothing else. Europeans lost their identity and resolve decades ago. They gutted their energy infrastructure and setup convoluted social safety net systems they can't fund. The US also has social obligations they won't be able keep going but the underlying structure of the real economy is much healthier than our European/Canadian counterparts. Japan and Korea are demographically fucked. The Chinese have an oil problem that batteries and solar can't solve. This is why theyre building out vast amounts of nuclear, which is smart, but that transition won't happen over night. The problem with China is that you can't invest and build in China without having the govt throttling you if you step out of line. Your arguments about Trump and politeness are dull and overplayed and actually matter little in the great power struggle that we are about to witness. This will be a turbulent century for everyone. Strap in, stay humble, stack sats.
