38. Because we would be closer to what Germany was in the 1930's than any of the other countries ...

Iran, Saudi Arabia, and even Russia are regional powers at best. Russia is only still relevant because they possess the nuclear weapons of the Soviet Union. If not for that, they would barely be able to hold their own Federation together. Those powers are able to move about because they do not present an imminent threat to the world at this time. A fascist United States, with our ability to project our strength basically anywhere in the world in a matter of hours, would be a threat to the peace of the entire world. A fascist United States would be expansionist, with the actual ability to expand by force.

There would be war in a matter of a decade, both internal and external.
