Hold on to your butts, its going to get worse before it gets be..... actually, its just going to get worse.

I truly believe I will see the complete demise of America in my lifetime. Very unfortunate but it looks like it's going to happen. :(

Maybe you guys should read the article.

Read it fully.

I did and I still stand by my statement.

All great powers come to an end. I think I will see this in my lifetime. :shrug:

Yeh then you are fucked because we would take canada down with us. Imagine 100 million sc ream american illegals making a run for the northern border

Everyone will be fucked, not just Canada. I didn't say I wanted to see it or that I'd even be happy about it. I just think it's coming. I hope I'm wrong but eventually I think it's coming.

"What the figures don’t show at all is the unspoken tradeoff in the global system, a grand bargain that has persisted for a half century: to wit, Europeans and Asians (except for China) will agree to forgo serious military power and strategic dominance in exchange for acknowledging (again, tacitly) that the United States will play that role. This way they get to maintain their generous welfare states and their high McKinsey living standards."


Be careful of biting (or standing by gleefully as others attempt to bite) the hand that feeds you.

It's possible Europe and other detractors may be right....the US may very well be a power in decline. But I'd wager that after the initial glee of "the big arrogant US finally got their come uppance" wears off there is going to be a fair amount of pants pissing wondering how they are going to protect themselves.....how they are going to continue funding their little socialist utopias without the umbrella of US paid for security to protect them.

I blame the minors. lol

Is that like a winery or something?

What does mining have to do with this

I think he meant MINORS.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!
