"So? Let it die then? Anyone see the Romans complaining?
The U.S. is destroyed. Knocked down to a 3rd world minor power after a nuclear exchange and five years (ten years) of global war. Probably not even 50 states any longer or not a very cooperative Union at that either. There is two competing governments and probably many States accepting the legitimacy of either and not cooperating with either to boot.
There is no Law in the Universe that demands a fully restored U.S.A super power after the events of T2K. "
Actually there is such a law - its called 2300AD that states the US rose again as a major power both on Earth and in space.
And the last I heard 2300AD is supposed to be the future of the Twilight 2000 canon.
Thus in this particular universe that is the law that states it.
And Loren's HW has the US so devastated that the canon of 2300AD cannot come to pass.
As I pointed out to Marc either 2300AD is right or HW is right - you cant have both - not with the loss of that much of the US population and the US Army falling apart basically outside of Colorado and Sacramento.
