The United States is a collapsing empire. It took the western Roman Empire 700 hundred years to collapse. How long will it take us?

Hey maretus, just curious — why are you so down on the US?
Have you seen how things are going in other countries?
Honestly, most of them are in way worse shape.
At least the US seems to have a strategy in the Middle East, and so far it looks like it’s working.

Grabbing cash by force shouldn't be what our government does at all

I don’t know, man — but that last deal with Saudi definitely made them a ton of money.
And if they manage to get a grip on the rest of the Middle East, there’s a whole lot of resources and cash up for grabs.
Seems like it would obviously benefit the US.
At least that’s how I see it.

We shouldn’t even be involved in the Middle East. We’re wasting money there and everywhere else for no reason.

Thanks for your replies @maretus @mxjxn  I really appreciate it.
Hearing stuff like this from trusted friends like you helps me understand the real situation in the US better.
People in other countries don’t really have any way to see how much dissatisfaction there is in places like America — or why.
Governments don’t let that info get out, so we grow up thinking everything’s perfect over there.

This is such a weird question to be asking. Do you know about the budget bill and what it contains? Essentially nails in the coffin for democracy. Not to mention defending Medicaid and SNAP. And a massively funded new ICE police force, which is proven to be unaccountable. And increasing taxes on the poor very significantly over the next several years.

Because our leaders are continually fucking us over, seemingly on purpose.
