Watching the Decline/End of America as a Superpower in Realtime ...

Mind-blowing! ?

You ok Cleo?

You seem upset.

You need to educate yourself boy.

We will rise to the top again EASILY and QUICKLY when this is over, all the other Countries will be in the same Boat. And when we get top again we will help all the other Countries get back on their feet as well.

I said that already 30 years ago when the Sowjet Union came down that the capitalist system is next. Now Asia is the fastest growing region on the planet. The next superpower will be there.

The US is on a long downward trend for a long time, they just don't know yet because they don't travel. They rather keep the illusion up that they are the best country on earth. Which was never the case in the first place.

The next year or two will be interesting.

Sorry, Cleo. Just concerned about your future. I fear a bunch of quarries, dairy farms and fishing villages won't be enough to keep an island of nearly 70 million afloat. Think South Pacific without the weather.

Exactly. It's astonishing how the downward trend is the result of multiple repeat and unforced errors motivated by greed.

Aren't you (pretending to be?) in Italy at the moment.

That amused me, the fake Kenyan in Italy. No wonder it's always a double whammy when Kenyan after Kenyan gets busted. There's almost always an Italian shaming himself at the same time.

Definitely heading in the wrong direction.

I think China allocates resources poorly and limits production more seriously than people here realize. They have debt, too.

Don't forget also that in just the past couple of years America has also began literally ripping apart the statues of it's past because it's culture has began eating itself.

The Ones tearing down the Statues are some FAR LEFT Losers, The Overwhelming Majority Of Americans Love our Country and are EXTREMELY PROUD of our History. Remember we have 330 Million People, so there is bound to be some Troublemakers, just because the numbers are so huge.

ok, I'll bite: The overwhelming majority of people are happy with celebrating slavery?

Those troublemaking black people, eh??

Most countries have a history of slavery, that doesn't make them bad. You can still be proud of a country that did something wrong many years ago.......every country has done something wrong at some point.

Except it’s not true. China is toast. Far from taking the lead as a superpower over America but maybe you have missed the news. China has lied, people have died. They will not rise under these circumstances unless folks like you buy into their propaganda but not enough of you to make a difference.

The overwhelming majority? I don't think upper class white conservatives are the overwhelming majority, anymore.

Every country doesn't celebrate or create lasting memorials for the perpetrators of those wrong deeds, however.

Extreme difference.

No they aren't. The middle class are the majority and the middle class are proud of America.

Are you only talking about confederate monuments? Is mount rushmore a problem to you? They can still be great leaders even though they made some wrong decisions. Does not mean they should be erased from history.

The next superpower will be able to produce enough toilet paper for all its citizens, AND it will feature a leader who does not urge its country's citizens to drink bleach or shine flashlights up their behinds.
