Is America on the brink of civil war? And what about Europe?

Alex Garland, known for his thought-provoking films such as “Ex Machina” and “Annihilation,” has once again captured the attention of audiences with his latest movie, “Civil War.” The film depicts a divided America at war with itself, with Texas and California pitted against the rest of the country, now known as the Loyalist States.

While Garland does not delve into the specific political reasons for the division, he skillfully portrays the conflict and its impact on modern America. The movie has received praise for its exploration of war themes and epic storytelling, leaving viewers to draw their own conclusions about a country under siege.

The current political landscape in the United States, as reflected in headlines such as “How and Why Biden Destroyed the Strategic Petroleum Reserve” and “Anxiety and depression are spiking among young people,” further adds to the sense of a nation in turmoil. The ongoing political gridlock and income inequality have contributed to America’s failure to lead on the global stage.

As the U.S. retreats from its role as a global superpower, internal peace and coherence are also at risk. The emergence of competing powers and economic systems in Europe and Asia could challenge America’s authority on intra-state affairs, leading to potential secession movements like those depicted in Garland’s film.

While “Civil War” is a work of fiction, it raises important questions about the future of America and the potential consequences of political disagreements that cannot be resolved through peaceful means. As geopolitical analysts warn of the perfect economic and political storms that could arise in a post-American world, audiences are left to ponder the implications of a nation divided against itself.
