Knowing that we make less that we spend and our government wants to spend even more. Where is our country heading? Also who thinks that the revived Roman Empires rise is right around the corner?

View Profile History	Lets Talk Politics Guys Posted : 26 Jul, 2011 07:13 PM I hope I'm wrong, but I would suggest that the new Roman Empire is not on the rise but the decline (if indeed it is the USA). Considering that the decline of morality and family stability dynamics is one of the first signs of imperial/national decline and that our country seems to be well on its way in both of those areas, I doubt the USA is "on the rise." Another troubling trend is the debasing of national sovereignty and trying to rewrite history to replace our distinctly Christian origins and the Framers. Finally, when a government begins to believe its own propaganda, things are starting to look bad. I'm not sure if our government is doing that or not, but it is something to be aware of and consider. It is entirely possible however that the "New Roman Empire" is not the USA but instead a different entity, perhaps one not fully cohesive yet. Both China and India are growing more assertive, both economically and otherwise (China more so than India). The Russian Federation is also regaining some of its power, and the South American continent is beginning to form an economic hub based in Brazil for a pseudo-union to arise in the near future. Globally, the USA is not the only "superpower" anymore, if such a term even applies to the current standards. In some ways, we are still the most advanced, but in others we are being quickly surpassed by China and even India. Instead of a unipolar or even bipolar power arrangement as have existed in the past, the world is actually a multipolar or nonpolar paradigm today, and will become that ever more increasingly as the continents align with one another and form more connections and alliances between various states across continents. South and East Asia will be areas to watch in the next decade, as they increasingly compete with the USA in ways that will overtake us before too long. All that to say, I'm not sure that's the right question to be asking. Also, I would gently remind the reader that there may be a more fitting forum on this site to post this in, perhaps one more specifically suited for politics (just a consideration). Post Reply
