Today, if the supply lines go down, you are stuck in a house you can’t heat surrounded by millions of FDA-approved drug addicts who are going psycho because they have run out of juice and people who would murder their own grandmother to get a cut-price iPhone.

The resilience and strength of character that has helped U.S. through past crises doesn't exist any longer.

“The resilience and strength of character that has helped U.S. through past crises doesn’t exist any longer”.

That is absolutely correct.

Yet another good reason to NOT have neighbors and to be as self-sufficient as you can be.

People seem to suck more so now than ever.

Most Freepers are cool, though. ;)

This article is real thought provoking. I would recommend everyone read the full article. It downloads easily and isn't overwhelmed with ads and other distractions. Heres a summary, a list of problems the US and some other countries face:

1. Destruction of farms and reliable food source.

2. Weak economic system.

3. Americans increasingly on mind-altering drugs.

4. Morals in decline.

5. Nowhere to run.

The article really should be read. The author brings these factors together, and is convincing that as one affects the other, US and other western civilization could come tumbling down.

Just another Krushchevesque “We will bury you” propaganda piece from RT.

Cuts down the USA, praises Putin.

It's RT, the Russian propaganda network.

No surprises here.

If you accept the Russian logic posited here. A crisis is only what you make of it. If you simply remove (liquidate) the communist from our education system and replace him with a patriot. You will be free of this whole problem in a single generation.

The United States is in decline. While not all major shocks to the system will be devastating, when the right one comes along, the outcome may be dramatic.

Trump is running, and one of the things he is talking about is restoring these things to their original greatness.

Thank God American is awakening.

Things were way worse in the 60s. And the 70s. Really even a good chunk of the 80s.

That’s what people said in the 1960’s when the antiwar movement came very close to ripping the country apart.

To all: Yes, it’s RT ... I appreciate the dynamics and irony of RT preaching the fragility of the US because of moral decline ... valid points are made in the article, however. I wish we were a more resilient and moral nation still, but we aren’t, and it’s not hard to see that in the headlines, and the machinations of politicians, political parties, government, and media.

It is not like nobody tried to tell you what was happening. Americans refused to listen and heed. Now you are in a political quagmire of your own making. I just hope Trump can get elected over the coming democrat vote fraud. Watch for it.

RT is nothing but a mouth piece for Putin. However, this article is 100% correct.

WHAT is America but beauty queens, millionaires, stupid records and Hollywood?" asked Adolf Hitler in 1940

You all keep underestimating us. There is a whole lot more to American then what you see in the "News" media.

What keeps the thugs and punks safe is the rule of law. Law protects them from people like me. Take the gloves off and they will not like the results.

Were America still primarily populated with my parents or grandparents generational peers, I believe the country could weather a whole host of dire calamities.

But now? Not a chance. We’ve become a morally rotted society. A populace that has become so weak and spineless that it cowtows to every mind-bogglingly insane PC agenda that gets promulgated. A culture that worships depravity and spits on all things decent. A society that has become balkanized to the point of no shared beliefs, no shared values, and no shared history.

A pajama-boy nation. A fag-marriage nation. I wouldn’t bet a single, solitary dime on its survival.
