The Russians and the Chinese are laughing at us, India and all Asia are laughing because they know this will weaken us, the dollar will crash, and this will be their century not ours.
Russia and China are not self destructive, they want to actually BUILD their country and they (even in the throes of Communism) never let their science and engineering industries wither. They also have never let their entertainment industry run their culture and they do not tolerate criminals and degeneracy. Everything that America had going for it was squandered.
