How to survive the Post-America World

Part 1 of a blog-series by Martin Erasmuson.

Back in July I blogged ‘Start getting ready for President Trump’ and ‘The beginning of the end of NATO’; to some derision I might add.  The arguments for and against my first blog are now moot and with EU leaders now openly discussing the need for an EU army.  The EU it seems are already considering the questions proposed by this blog; a world without a United States of America.

Tuesday’s US Presidential election result was not the end; but the beginning.  The key question for everyone now is : “What will a post-US-empire look like?” 

Peter Turchin, a Russian-American scientist in the statistical analysis and dynamics of historical societies, predicted way back in 2007 a major wave of social upheaval and revolutionary violence is set to take place in the US in 2020. All Turchin’s pre-cursers are in place in the US: an increase in the elite population; a decrease in the overall living standards; and enormous government debt.  Tuesday night’s result just confirmed the individual who will set those events in motion.

So back to the main topic; what will a post-US world look like or more importantly, how will it affect countries and individuals?  How should countries like New Zealand and individual citizens start to prepare for the eventuality?
