Honestly speaking, the state of the u.s right now is a bit lopsided, to be honest. Because the country of America is already deeply in debt in the amount of 31T$ do you think this country can recover?
Despite the debt that the US government has incurred, it doesn't stop them from executing whatever project they want to do including wars. While in Pakistan they were in debts, while going after all the terrorists wars they have also been in debts notwithstanding all the humanitarian aids they deliver to other countries of the world. In fact debts have been known with US government since it was created, it is the highest indebted country of the world. From what I gathered from my
research , it only cleared her debt during President Andrew Jackson in 1835-1836.
Especially now that they don't even have a gold backup for their dollar currency. Then they defaulted and what they did could lead to a recession, something that most people don't want to happen. But I don't think we will end up in ww3.
No body wants ww3 because it is going to be disastrous for all Nations and US have been careful handling the other countries like China, North Korea including the NATO influence in Russia. But I don't think US is anywhere near recession for now, apart from printing more notes, they can sell bonds or treasury bills to help their economy.
