Throughout history great nations have experienced great tragedies. The United States has been spared so far.

We are being set up for the greatest military and economic “hit” in world history. IMO

The fat, spoiled kid is in for a rude spanking and nasty diet.

In one of the early segments of the ‘Victory at Sea’ series is a five minute or so segment devoted to the IJN. It is made up of grainy clips from Japanese propaganda films of fleet reviews and naval maneuvers and old news reels showing Admiral Togo's state funeral. This segment always sends a real shiver up the spine. The picture of a highly technically proficient force led by dedicated and suicidally brave men preparing for the inevitable clash with the western powers. Americans would do well to ponder on that film and think what it might be a warning of.

You forgot about the events of 1861-1865.
