Personally, I compare the America of today to the Russia of a couple of decades ago. Russia backrupted itself trying to keep up with, and surpass America in the arms race/cold war. The same scenario is being played out again, only this time in the US. This time, the only difference is the method of backruptcy. America is spending way too much money fighting "terrorism". Their deficit is multiple TRILLIONS. Their economy is (or at least was) sliding a lot. Maybe its just me, but this bears a striking resemblance to the USSR of the not-so-distant past. Maybe American politicians should take a few history courses and learn what they can do to avert the impending crisis.
Just my opinion on the matter.

I dissagree, basically because think the "Pax Americana" will be here for a long time.
It's a fact that any empire fall sooner or later , but don't believe it will happen to USA soon. |
