I'm taking it the wrong way. You are misunderstanding and misrepresenting the situation involving geopolitics in this. There's absolutely nothing you can do to any significant degree unless you can get enough people you communicate with to agree to communicate differently. All we need is text, images, and video. No one cares if you use Helvetica or Times New Roman. No significant progress will happen until those high speed undersea cables are sabotaged to blind us from what will happen next. That's when s will start happening and you'll have better options because everyone will be inventing the next best thing like mesh networks and ways to transport large amounts data physically. We're about to go from gigabytes to megabytes of usage, rapidly. Add some power outages and you will have some nice and creative options of communication, storage, and compute. Latency will suck but you'll be able to send a message from Kansas City to North Korea in less than 50 years and there is nothing any can do to stop that. Countries will begin to use nukes to control their population. By the time you "decouple" US won't even look the way it does now. We're about to shift borders north through give some lose some diplomacy. Everyone is waiting because no one wants to invest in the south if it's gonna break off anyway and now you have complicated logistics. US itself will begin to be strip mined in under 100 years as intelligent populations depart the continent to make money rebuilding Europe and Russia.
