If the United States goes down it’ll also trigger a global economic disaster as well.
If the United States goes down, you’ll have a corporate oligarchy with the most powerful military in world history.
Just saying.

Yes, I don’t see a calm transition in the cards.

His Veep is just as bad…
Also, I meant a calm transition from America being top dog to another power. Russia and China aren’t going to share power nicely and there are enough countries with nukes to make the whole thing really unstable.

Oh yea, this time, there wouldn’t be a powerful country to liberate us. 😖

I’ve read a lot of modern fiction set in the 1930s. The authors almost always have a character who can’t leave Europe because they are caring for an elderly parent.

Speak to the author about allowing folks and their parents to immigrate, please

Book review time!
Alan Furst has been writing WW2 era spy books for a while now. “Night Soldiers” is about a young Bulgarian fisherman whose brother is killed by a fascist mob. He gets recruited by the KGB and after training in Moscow he is sent to fight in the Spanish Civil War.
Philip Kerr wrote a series of books about a Berlin private eye. Ex-cop Bernie Gunther is a WW1 veteran who loves Germany and who could have left any time, but stayed on until it was too late.
