You just cannot predict these sorts of things. And besides, the United States exists only in your mind.

Your comment makes no sense to me. I am not predicting anything. I am showing what people are saying. What do you mean about the US existing only in my mind? Who / what drops the bombs? Perhaps, only the Federal government and the Pentagon really exists.

"you" should have been "one". And "in your mind" was a bit of philosophical flare. These things all just exist in our minds, but the collective action of hundreds of millions believing in the existence of the United States (or any nation) make it real.
