Empires can rise and fall quickly. After World War I, the Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman, and Russian Empires abruptly collapsed amid military defeat, rising nationalism, and revolution.
Yet on the eve of World War II four new empires suddenly grew out the wreckage of old Europe and Asia. A weak Italy under Fascist Benito Mussolini in just a few years grabbed much of East and North Africa, as well as the Dalmatian coast. Hitler

Well, at least the evil US has been knocked down a notch or two, and the rest of the world likes Americans more... /s
“Empires can rise and fall quickly.”.
Its the “emperor” that needs falling.
If only Boehner/McDonnell had just thirty per cent of Hanson’s understanding. Boehner/McDonnell prefer their corruption.
If I were an alien about to land here, this is the Earth Primer I would need to understand this planet. Good work!
"... Or, to put it more exactly, President Obama believes that his own legacy rests with avoiding all confrontations overseas, withdrawing as many troops as he can, and cutting the defense budget as much as Congress will allow ..."
This is true of course, but VDH equates these actions to Obama's motivation. I disagree. They are simply the tactical responses based on his real strategy - they implement the real Obama motivation: The furthering of the power and influence of his beloved Islam which requires the diminishing of the relative influence of American power.
So while I agree with most of what Hansen writes I think he is being much too kind in evaluating Obama. This is not Obama the Stupid, the Weak. This is Obama the Muslim helping to restore Islamic power in the world.
I think I have Occam on my side.
His handlers must have told him there was an axis of evil or something.....
By the way, the proliferation of evil has been a direct result of Obama’s overt and covert behavior.
Libya was a humbled old tiger. Now Al Qaeda is there...
Egypt was an ally. Obama supported the wicked Muslim Brotherhood, they got overthrown, and now the government RIGHTLY views Obama with suspicion. (The point is Obama BACKED THE EVIL SIDE in Egypt.)
Iran is being enabled by Obama. Evil.
North Korea continues to oppress....Obama is weak.
Russia does what Russia has always done...
ISIS and Muslim lunatics grow like maniacs.....
Burma is set to pass another law restricting the freedom of Christians...
Here in America, freedom of expression and the liberty of voters to determine their own social morals are being crushed by judicial fiat...
Article I of the Constitution is being ignored by the rest of the federal government—all legislative power is given to Congress. But the executive branch and the bureaucracy have joined the judicial branch in writing law.....
Yes, evil is growing.
We need a spiritual awakening.....a revival of massive proportions. Repentance, a recognition of our brokenness, and a turning back to Christ.

Listen—I hear the hoofbeats of the four Horsemen approaching. War is coming folks—grim and terrible—and we are not ready. We have gotten fat and lazy. Worse than in 1941. How will the Pajama Boys act to a new draft? How will they react when they see our cities burn? Our ships roll over and take 1,000 sailors to davy Jone’s locker? How will they react then as everything is rationed and the internet gone? Mexicans will be heading south or face the draft? Who will work in the weapons factories? Do we have any? At least we will have gas—even if its rationed.

If you analyze cause and effect, there are NO good causes to be had in years, or in the pipeline, to ensure any good effects. The Democrat pounding in the last election is being covered over by the Republicans as if it never happened. Dark clouds are gathering on the horizon as Hanson is warning. We are conditioned to believe that something/someone will save us at the last minute. Now, that is in God’s hands, not in our leaders or collective actions. Incidentally, Obama keeps referencing that this is the twenty-first century and things are different; war is out dated. Hillary’s “smart power” will save us. Just prior to World War I, peoples’ concern over a war breaking out because of all the interlocking defense treaties were assured that war could not happen because Europe was just too civilized.
"Not since the 1930s and early 1940s have we seen so many malevolent empires on the rise."
Thank you bH0.
