    Which country will they sell weapons and send airstrike to if they are the only country in the world?

      Texas and Florida are the natural third world countries to invade. Especially texas. The US would move quickly to secure the energy resources and ‘free’ the citizens of a corrupt failed state.

        See, I know what you’re trying to say, but that would unironically be an improvement for most of us…

      A United States. You wouldn’t say “an uniform”. You would say “an underling”. First one has a y sound to start, second has a u sound to start. The usage of a/an depends on the next sound, not the next letter.

      It wouldn’t look the same, but the US could domestically produce enough food and energy to sustain itself.

        That could probably be said about anywhere, given time, money, and willingness to reduce population.

        I could probably build an underground vertical farm in the Sahara and feed myself, if I pumped in saltwater to desalinate.

          I don’t think that’s true. Many, many countries don’t have what it takes to self sustain in a modern world.

        I mean, it absolutely could. California alone supplies the planet with a massive percentage of food. If the this image was accurate, we’d have a surplus of food. We might just have to tolerate losing a lot of stuff we can’t (?) grow, like bananas. Or they’d be remarkably expensive because only Hawaii or Florida or somewhere that could grow them.

        Power? Again, we have collosal amounts of energy or energy potential. From green energy to fossil fuels and natural gas. Without selling it to our allies, we’d have a surplus of energy.

        This is literally why America is the superpower. But a lot of countries could likely do this. Russia could for sure too.

        Economically, however, I can’t even speculate.

        Fun thought experiment, worthy of a Kutzgesagt video!

        Edit: I thought you said “couldn’t” but I already posted so 乁⁠༼⁠☯⁠‿⁠☯⁠✿⁠༽⁠ㄏ

    Did you just point a camera down a toilet after taking a massive capitalist shite? 😂
