Personally I think that the tsunami will just keep getting pushed back, and the wave will keep getting higher. Perhaps eventually there will be a great crash and half of the world will be wrecked and the other half badly damaged. Or perhaps there will be found a way to dodge the bullet through clever manoeuvring and legal wrangling. Maybe America will sell Alaska back to Russia? Then Sarah Palin can finally meet Putin.
Still, this is the price for 'winning' the Cold War, the Soviet Union ran out of money first, but America will pay the price of hegemony later. All great nations rise and fall, Western Europe lost its dominance in two World Wars, the Middle East in several crusades and internal infighting, Rome through a century of crisis.
America will survive, but there will be a lot of changes, and there are large groups of people in America who are not very good with change, and they are not going to like this one bit. C'est la vie.
