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.
We've hsd a long time to fix things, but we chose to be "civil" instead.
Oooh what ballet/music will be played nationally when the us collapses?
It was swan lake for the USSR right?
I'm kinda hoping it's green day's American Idiot but that may be a bit on the nose
There is nothing on-the-nose enough that it won't be lost on at least 40% of us.
It'll more likely be a Kid Rock or Ted Nugent concert. Or simply five hours of topless Putin riding on a horse.
According to Ted Turner, it's "Nearer, My God, to Thee".
Trump is a huge fan of Cats, so maybe they'll play that?
The over-reliance on "entrepreneurism" is what got us here, and the harping on it in this article irks me; other than that, it's a good read.
What comes next is Trump will go nuts and start walking around naked and MAGAts will celebrate by doing the same.
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.
material economic conditions, not by jumping up and down on their own dicks the way America is handling it.
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

What happened to the super rich people from USSR when it collapsed?
There weren't really many super rich people in the USSR. There were people with a lot of influence and power, who had nicer houses, better food, clothes, etc. but very few had a tons of money stashed away. You have to remember that Stalin and many of his followers viewed capitalism as the root of all evil and would imprison or kill rich people.
And many of those influential people used that power after the fall to become super rich by snapping up former state assets. Which is seemingly part of their current goal in the US: Isolate the country and destroy government assets to privatize them. Literally trying to recreate the situation that created the 90s Russian oligarchs.
Highly influential people who where loyal to Gorbachev: Purged and often imprisoned after the coup attempt.
Highly influential people who were loyal to Yeltsin: Oligarchs.
Probably took extended vacations to Montenegro or similar.
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.
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
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.
