Natural disasters do equate to decline. I will not argue any reasonable statement of relative decline. Obviously the US was always going to face that some time after 1945. Choosing to participate in the reconstruction of its allies. Not launching new total war against Russia or doing the same by trying to stop the fall of Nationalist China, CHengeraly supporting the ideal of formal de colonialism in many cases etc.You can't help but look at the mass natural disasters affecting the United States from the plague, the red skies over California, the hurricanes and the riots in the street to not accept that the United States is in a precarious state and in an obvious state of decline.
But in general I do not think you make a good case for some absolute decline or define well what decline is or what the peck of the US looked like. Also You riots and aggressive civial disobediance have been a general feature of the US since before the whisky rebellion.
I did not realize you 3 were pen pals - fancy that.To the evangelical christians who form a core part of this administration like Pence and Pompeo, Trump's infection with COVID-19 is a clear sign of God's disfavour.
I'll fix that for the Pope refused to with a corrupt man. That Pope decided he would not a political prop for Pompeo says something about the Current administration, not about all the US.The fact that the Pope refuses to meet a self proclaimed Godly man like Pompeo tells you just how far the United States has strayed
With a free press you get all kinds weird stuff. You really should avoid the stuff published by right wing think takes and media sound chambers.the chattering classes in western journalism wax lyrical about such mandates of heaven when it comes to say the PRC so it's natural to assume they would hold such views of the United States.
Not sure of you pointActually the constitutional crisis when it comes to the appointment of supreme court judges and the evident corruption therein is a clear sign of the need for change in the United States. That there is clear infighting and conspiracies amongst the ruling classes of the United States and the 'cold civil war' portends a future of civil strife especially in the upcoming election.
Actually you know the rate of decline is far higher in the non white us population.declining birth rates of white americans
?the prostitution of white american females
Not really going to both posting on this again with links I done it too many times. Its a myth more or less now. Its supposed death would not affect the United states, and the only people who care if tomorrow oil was sold in Yuan or Euros or whatever would be the export orientated countries seeing the cost of their exports rise.and the death of the petrodollar.
