I sure hope so and hope its takes Israel, and a number of Arab governments, down with it. As someone who used to believe in the myth I am bitter and disgusted by what the US really is and always has been.

I couldn’t get very far through this briar-patch of buzz-words. But the collapse of the Soviet Union was brought about by material economic conditions, not by jumping up and down on their own dicks the way America is handling it.

I suspect the apt model for America’s future is the British Empire.

Except the US is about to suffer those material economic conditions because they’re jumping on their own dicks.

“Revenge” I believe is the correct word

They are kinda doing a version of shock therapy on themselves though. (On their own dick.)

When you look down at others instead of helping lift other up nobodt cares when you implode. I’m VERY sad for the regular non crazy american, you guys are the real victims.

No, the real victims are the children who were killed in a hospital or school bombing by the US. If the US is terminally weakened it may be less capable of bombing schools and hospitals halfway across the world.

The Neoliberals obsessed with civility are working for the same people the Republicans do.

What comes the next? In Europe will be 2 unions: Eastern European and EU (Western European).

wouldnt it make more sense if russia split into 2 instead? I think there might be something brewing there, especially if the war ends at some point and all those abused soldiers come back home

I may be wrong, but this is what the prophecy of Revelation says. About the 10 horns and the beast, as well as Ezekiel’s prophecy about the unification of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel under one king. It should be understood that the EU is a colonial country and a descendant of the Holy Roman Empire, and later the Habsburg Empire. Before the Byzantine conquest, Eastern Europe was one country (from the Danube to the Don and the Caspian Sea, and from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea). And now this unification is happening before our eyes. This is an incredible event.

Split into a hundred pieces. It’s long been a country with tons of internal divisions who hate whomever happens to be ruling in Moscow.

i just hope, if russia ends up splitting, that china doesnt gobble up the pieces. I still would rather have russia as neighbour than china, considering how china has been towards its neighbours.
