Why is hegemonic collapse's link into war better than economic decline?

1) If our economy fails, we are unable to pay debts back to other countrieswhich could lead to war. If we owe other countries money that we can’t pay

back, they could attack us without worrying about the money we owe them

and just take us over.2) conomic decline can be !"ed by other countries loaning us money. #owever,

hegemonic collapse will make other countries think that we are no longer

powerful, and may turn against us.$) If hegemony collapses, it is possible that our allies may still protect us against

those who think we have become weak. If we fail economically, our allies may

turn against us due to our lack of money.

(errorists wouldn*t be able to get nuclear weapons because they don*t ha%e enough support. lso) the probability of terrorists attacking the & is low because of all the foiled plots and attempts andterrorists do not think they can achie%e much by trying again.

2. Why does a terrorism impact not matter when +," has been deployed? (hink: what does +," do tonuclear missiles launched into space?

will be able to shoot down nuclear missiles and stop terrorists from being able to

attack the *.
