Tested in what way? Be specific.
We won't be tested in a conventional sense unless we look to be tested. Various interests seem to do a good job of pushing politicians to look for those tests.
Like I stated, various interests in the US are scared of what the world will look like when the US cannot run around and play Captain America across the globe. They're scared because it's not in their interests. Specifically, not in their financial interests.
They're scared that someone else will (i.e. China) begin to do that. You know what? Let them. They'll figure out it's an expensive headache real fast chasing resources across the globe and maintaining the power of the kleptocaracy back home.
We've only lasted about 60 years so far and the past 30 of those have put us heavily into debt.
