The "United States of AI" cannot produce everything themselves. The USA is the biggest importer in the world. Your 100% independence scenario is a fantasy. Also, when you disown property owners and default on debt, this doesn't lead to just less investments, it means a total collapse of the dollar. The US will not have absolute AI dominance in a case of full self-isolation because then their current ways to suppress rivals (sanctions, trade blocks) will fall apart. And when that happens, China wins.
