What would happen if suddenly there was no USA

AllForIt

So aliens from outer space visit earth, go straight to the US of A and abduct every last American. Effectively no more United states of America, never to influence any facet of life on earth ever again.

That would leave Russia and China as the two remaining superpowers. What would happen - would the world be better or worse off ?

Travelling millions of light years and yer all about the size of the thing.

Sponsorship of worldwide terrorism would end, unless Britain managed to become a superpower again.

Less wars and conflict around the world and a fairer financial system not based on selling oil through US dollars.

maxwell smart

No season 7 of Game of Thrones from HBO?

But base off rubels and yuan a return to the occupation of Eastern Europe and further afield

Less conflict yeah right

Taxburden carrier

No more World Series

British take back 13 colonies.

Russia takes Alaska

Spain takes California

Mexico reclaims territory lost

Canada takes the great plains

Europe draws closer together in light of Russian aggression and Chinese expansion after their victory in the Indian border wars.

What about the millions of non Americans who live there? Are they left unscathed?

Also, average weight of humanity would be significantly reduced.

Also wasnt this not the plot to the film 'Skyline,' when humanity gets all vacuumed up.

Nothing, we'd just go back to using the old maps.

one big war over who gets the new free land.

The USA is the Rothschilds enforcer. The US sponsors terrorism around the world, getting their men in power while sending in the World Bank and IMF attaching debt to the people of the country.

Under the Bible and Koran it is forbidden to charge interest on debt but that is the main source of power for those that control not only the US but most of the world today. Create money out of thin air, charge interest on debt and enslave millions of people around the world. Democracy American style.

One thing I strongly believe is that Europe would all of a sudden become far more integrated than it is now and that investment in both military and law enforcement would increase drastically - we'd become far more isolationist outside of the bloc than we are now given the threats posed from the east.

The UK would probably get serious about tightening relations with Canada, India and Australia.

As much as people disagree with US domestic and foreign policy I strongly believe we'd be a very different place both socially and economically if the country ceased to exist.

...Also who'd buy our woolen jumpers ?! :pac:

EU becomes global leader. Becomes more federalized. Military spending jumps.

Desperate scramble in UK to Breturn. Breturn wins by walkover result.

The 'wheel of middle east' gets spun repeatedly, random high death tolls result, anybodys guess where/how many. Israel likely survives, unofficial nod nod understandings between Israel, EU and Saudi re; security, fuel, markets, tech access, global stability.

EU borders fortified. UN civil intervention in north Africa. EU begins stabilization program to make north Africa an immigration fire-line and manufacturing hub.

Latin American/EU trade alliance. Russian/Chinese counter alliance.

South Korea obtains nukes faster than Kim jong un obtains the last slice of pizza. Standoff results.

Would they leave non American citizens there? Would they have to check everyone's passport? What about people with dual citizenship?

Sales of red wine would be unaffected.

Ok so this hypothetical happens in a few years when all non Americans have been banished by Trump.

Manach

The SciFi Author John Birmingham had this as the premise of his Without waring series. The outcome was widespread war and civil unrest as the rest of the World reacted to this, as well as the elements of the US army overseas attempting to restore the US.

This shouldn't be that hard to answer seeing as the US as we know it has a very short past compared to the rest of the world.

Europe and Asia would be the centres of economic activity and would lead world politics. South America would be very isolated and would probably fall even further backwards on the economic scale.

Africa would continue tonne extremely poor. Canada would be an interesting case. It has plenty of natural resources but it would be very isolated.
