    A smaller one has. But the bigger one is still moored.

    There are still a lot of people in USA who believe that USA can remain one country. Democrats seem to believe that there’s hope that things will start getting better again, once Democrats are back in power.

      I think things could get better, if the democrats take back power, and then display a level of virtue and resolve they we have never seen from them in the history of ever.

      I think it more likely that we become the Ottoman Empire.

        I’d be very curious about what “we become the Ottoman Empire” means when used by you!

        That sounds like a phrase that can have fifteen different meanings depending on who’s saying it.

          In this case, I’m referring to the description it had during and before WW1, “the sick man of Europe.” I’m not 100% clear on what happened, but it was collapsing on itself, and wound up fracturing.

          And I see your point, since I didn’t specify a time period. For a while, they were serous badasses.
