The United States has endured various minor insurrections, one major civil war, one Great Depression and Jimmy Carter ... we’ll be just fine and be here long - still squabbling of course - after Russia and its KGB types are just bad memories.

The only trend that the US has going for itself right now is that its potential adversaries are doing more dumb things, not that the US itself is turning things around. I don’t trust the present makeup of the US citizenry; its value system - especially the virtue of self-reliance - has seriously degraded since the 1930s and 1940s. People now demand comfort as a right, and there’s nothing on the horizon saying that they’re in the mood to change their minds. We’re not Europe quite yet, but the psychological dike has already been breached.
