    You’re right. Your empire will never fall. All those other empires that thought the same way were different. This one will last 1000 years.

    The US is already in the process of collapsing. That’s what the OP article is about. International alliances are weakening. The military is facing shortages. More and more countries are abandoning the dollar. The extreme right is growing stronger and stronger. Trump got elected, twice, and he is only a symptom of the problem that you refuse to acknowledge or address.

    You clearly deserve the future you’re creating with your stubborn imperialism. It just sucks that you’re subjecting the rest of us to living under fascism because people like you couldn’t get over your lust for power.

      Given a choice between western imperialism and eastern imperialism I pick western imperialism. We have tacos.

        Well, I’m glad that you’re finally taking the mask off and admitting that you’re an imperialist instead of doing that silly bit where you pretended to be an anarchist or a leftist. I don’t know who you thought you were kidding with that.

          I never wore a mask. I have always been open about my preference for the Western world compared to the eastern world. If I preferred it the other way around, I wouldn’t have left the USSR.

          Of course we could do better…but we could also do much worse.
