    I don’t know that we can make that claim. There’s a historical accuracy to that thought process. But there are also examples otherwise. It’s definitely not as clear and etched in stone like some say. There’s not a whole lot that our society shares with societies of the past. We have more guns than people, and obviously it’s a lot easier to take out a ton of people with an AR-15 than a sword. If all the rest of the world turn their backs on America at the same it’ll hurt a bit for the world, but it’d be the end of America rather quick. Beyond that, anti-vaxxers, climate change, social strife, there’s just no way to guarantee what you say.

      Brother if you think the U.S., the largest military and economic power in the world is just going to quietly die and not knock everything over it can on its way out idk what to tell you.

      The current leader is threatening to seize sovereign nations because a random government didn’t give him an award (that they don’t even award), can you imagine his reaction if things actually get bad for him?

      But it’s true there’s no way to guarantee what I’m saying and I actually hope I’m wrong.

        Oh no, hell burn the whole world to fire and ash if he doesn’t get everything his way. That’s why I say don’t be so sure it’ll be a slow process.
