"How does it thrive amidst the chaos of a war you predict in 2015?"

The U.S. will continue to decline. It will be comparable to Mexico soon.

South America,
The Middle East (especially reformed North Africa),
Europe,
and Asia will enter a glorious era. China will become Socialist Democratic the way the U.S. was under Clinton. It will recover. They'll begin to put Western China to work mining resources. United Korea and Japan will willingly join China to form a U.S.Asia.
