    Call it what you want, but the US is still deep in the FA stage.

    Eventually things will shift to the FO phase.

    With their national debt being carried by the countries they continually seem to want to ridicule, alienate and bully, eventually something has to give.

    Trump seems hell bent on torching the US from the inside out, and it’s working.

      Sure, eventually the empire is going to unravel, and it looks like that unravelling is happening an accelerating pace now. That said, Trump is himself a product of the failing system. People like him have always been around, but it’s the declining material conditions in the US that allowed opportunists to get into positions of power. The direction of travel will be exactly the same when Trump is gone.
