“It is collapsing. A slow motion collapse that is accelerating. Best to prepare yourself.
No country last forever. We will have a chance to rebuild some new countries from the ashes of the old.”
Maybe too true.
Quote from movie “War Games”!
Stephen Falken: “Now, children, come on over here. I’m going to tell you a bedtime story. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin. Once upon a time, there lived a magnificent race of animals that dominated the world through age after age. They ran, they swam, and they fought and they flew, until suddenly, quite recently, they disappeared. Nature just gave up and started again. We weren’t even apes then. We were just these smart little rodents hiding in the rocks. And when we go, nature will start over. With the bees, probably. Nature knows when to give up, David. “
The Mayans actually celebrate that renewal period. Would not go that far myself. But what significantly changed the US was WWII and the Cold War. We had to enlarge and empower the Federal State to win those wars. Those wars are long gone, but the federal behemoth in DC that was created, is still here. It does not want to die. It is grasping at tyrannical straws as it physically collapses. These are its last days.
