There are two areas of history I am currently researching: Wiemar Germany, and Tsarist Russia. Both are test cases for current America.
Love your screen name.
The two areas of study you note are particularly apropos. I was a Russian interpreter in Berlin and studied at the University of Leningrad in the 1970’s.
I have felt for some time that we in America are analogous to Tsarist Russia circa 1912 or Germany in 1930.
The outcome, absent divine intervention, is a Greek tragedy in slow motion. Yes, war is coming along with the financial collapse. Much is already baked in the cake.
Get.Out.Of.The.Cities.Now. (The ‘Preppers’ are right).
Thank you for your service, Old Sarge.

Considering my earlier comments, it was kind of creepy reading the summaries of Wiemar Germany and its eventual collapse. I haven't gotten into Tsarist Russia, as yet.
