Don’t be ridiculous. The country is a long way from being destroyed. It could be destroyed quickly enough if people believe nonsense like what you’re peddling and thereby go out of their way to destroy it, but if you want to see what a destroyed country looks like, take note of Somalia, or Libya if you’re a bit less pessimistic, and get back to me about the differences from conditions in the United States today.
Of course we have problems. “Destroyed” is a very different state.
