CHAPTER

America’s Vulnerabilities and Global Implications

This chapter explores the economic and political vulnerabilities in America, particularly the effects of job offshoring on rural areas and the urban-rural divide. It discusses the implications of past conflicts and the concept of 'hollow internationalism' as a reflection of America's distancing from global issues, particularly under the Trump administration. The chapter further analyzes the potential consequences of perceived American weakness and the shifting dynamics of global power, drawing parallels to historical precedents and current geopolitical tensions.
