It's also a false equivalence that the U.S. (a state) failing is America (a nation) failing.
This feels like it needs to be written at 45 degrees in red ink.
How so?
Wait... Aren't U.S. states in an union, aka United States, a country; and America itself the northern region of the Americas, so a continent?
A nation is a group of people, not a governmental system. A government can disappear without the people disappearing.
