The imperialist invaders eventually become bankrupt and corrupt, and they create fear in other nations, and motivate them to build alliances.
Look for China, Germany and France, plus, possibly Russia, to form an alliance by this time next year.

In the Korean War the U.S. shifted from a creditor to a debtor nation, largely due to military expenditures. The situation became permanent with the Vietnam War. Since the 1980s, the U.S.'s debtor status as a net importer of surplus capital has been a central feature of the world economy. U.S. indebtedness has by now reached phenomenal levels. This year's U.S. trade deficit is $450 billion. The federal budget deficit is $455 billion. The two add up to 11% of U.S. GDP. This is no sign of strength. It is a sign of WEAKNESS.
