Or the addict dies (or is incarcerated or committed. No analogy is perfect.)

Ok, there is a third option: Intervention. Low percentage shot, but it does sometimes work. I don't know what that would look like on a world scale though, and I don't know if our "family" of allies would be able or willing to pull one off.

My assumption is that there's probably not gonna be an intervention. That either leaves rock bottom followed by recovery, or the death of America as a nation.
