I have always looked at the math.
Americans comprise approx. 5% of the world population. We consume a (very conservative) 25% of the world's resources to maintain our lifestyle.
The whole world (except for North Korea and Cuba) are now competing in the free market for those same resources. Will we continue to dominate the markets?
I would suggest that major changes should be expected.
History might predict a long term series of wars over natural resources.

Assume the best and ask questions.
