Well, I always thought I'd see the crumbling of the American empire in my lifetime, but I was really hoping I'd get to grow old first...oh well.I think we are headed for a religious 'battle-royale' between the Evangelical Christians and the hardliners in the Muslim world...I mean, more so than we've seen to date. Obviously, things are going to (continue to) deteriorate between the US and Europe, but I'm not sure to what extent. I think it's maybe time to pick sides...How many tug boats would it take to pull Canada across the Atlantic?

Exactly- the war between the two fanatical organisations. Ideological fanatics of the West against the same of the Middle East. Who’s going to win? None. Who’s going to suffer? People (many people) who got cot in this stupidity. Watch many Canadian conservatives inspired by this fanatic’s election victory raising up their heads and challenging the government.America is divided, and hopefully a growing concern will grow into open challenge, criticism and impeachment of the undemocratic government. For democracy should never go hand and hand with the so-called mainstream religious ‘values’. In fact democracy was formed as an opposition to the 'religious' and other sort of barbarians of all times. Yes Royal Tenenbaum, American empire is crumbling. And before inquisition formed, progressives and freedom-loving people of America on all levels of life should be proactive, and make it their goal to not let fanatics rule and cause even more damage. Will democracy prevail? What are the terms upon which a president of the US can be impeached?

The US gets its ass handed to it in Iraq AND Afghanistan, China finally gets unfettered access to the oil it needs to propel itself into superpower status and bingo, America wanes and splits into three countries - the latest election map should give you an idea of what their borders look like.Oil runs out, but not soon enough to prevent global warming from flooding most of the worlds landmass. Dolphins take over. I for one welcome our new dolphin overlords.

The world will not end, however the power will change hands.The US dollar is dropping, their debt is growing, Russia and China are moving money into Euro's as opposed to the US dollar. Their economy is based entirely on the principle of being the #1 money trader, and product trader in the world. That can quickly be changed, and with it, the wealth of the US leaves and moves to say Communist China, or India, or one of the many other places waiting for their chance. Countries like Mexico and Canada who rely to heavily on the US for trade will suffer just as bad. We need to diversify now, we're already in danger.
