What led to the demise of the Soviet Union? It was not just one thing.

One of the factors was that the centralized government became so overbearing, individuals like Lech stood up. And then others followed him.

There were other factors, anyone know what they were?

But remember this. NO ONE wanted to put the Soviet Union back together again. Let’s be careful in what we do. Our Founding Fathers had a clear objective that kept them focused and united. Anyone here know what it was?

We have the blueprints to re-build/carry on. The most important blueprint is the Constitution.

Thank you for pointing this out. I’m tired of being called a chicken little. The media is complicit in propaganda right now, and we shouldn’t trust everything we read or hear. The government historically doesn’t just stop when people say they’ve had enough.

This isn’t going to just end overnight. Democrats, leftists, progressives, socialists, communists, whatever you want to call them, they’re egomaniacal narcissists, and admitting a mistake isn’t even something they’d entertain after death. They don’t care how much pain we experience, and that will come. It’s time we stand up, stand together, and to your point, Peter, it’s time we look to God for guidance. We’ve lost our way as a tribe.
