    In a Warlord Economy, the only exports your band of raiders can successfully manage are surface-level resources like wood and fossil fuels, and of course guns. Once those easy resources are sold off or stripped bare, the warlords typically move on to greener pastures to conquer.

    You only need to look at some of the other Warlord Nations in the world to see what America will become rapidly as we lose our infrastructure and support systems for high-wage jobs, tech development and educated labor who can build or design things. Russia 2.0 babyeeee.
