I’ve said it several times on FR...every superpower in history, whether good or bad, has fallen—Rome, Britain, USSR...the US is next.
We’re in a state of moral decline, very similar to Rome in the days leading up to its fall. We’re already divided against each other, we’re not one nation. The cracks preceding the crash are forming.

Funny, I thought Britain was still around, still possesses one of the largest economies on the planet, and one of the most capable militaries. And this from a nation that truly was stretched in every way possible during its period of ‘superpowerdom’ — a tiny population, massive percentage expenditures on a military that had nothing close to the sort of travel and logistics speed and technology available today, and on and on.
There is no substantive comparison to be drawn between the U.S. of today and Rome, Britain or the USSR. The U.S. may not always be the overweening power of the planet, but it’s virtually impossible - short of sheer physical destruction - to envision a realistic scenario in which it is ever subordinate to another.
