    People keep talking about the American Empire falling.

    Be careful what you wish for.

    When the USSR fell there was a decade of genocide in Europe, followed by kleptocracy that makes the old KGB look sedate.

    The US Navy has about a dozen nuclear aircraft carriers and three times as many nuclear subs.

      The US used nukes and committed genocide even when it was rising, so doing so on the way out is characteristic. And no it doesn’t scare me, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.

        You being scared or not really doesn’t matter. If things go bad, your vote doesn’t count.
