Now I'm anti American Empire as much as any hippy, but this guy suggested we're the "so-called victors" of the Cold War. Yeah sorry but we won that shit...you can argue a lot of things about the Soviets being much MUCH weaker than we were anyways but we still won.

Now as an Empire I think it's almost inevitable to go down the Soviet path. I mean baring a mass exodus of the major cities (Mayan Empire) mostly Empires go down the path of ridiculous patriotism and corruption while they die horribly.

This is why I wanted to elect someone like Newt Gingric or Donald Trump...to hasten the process so we can start the rebuilding sooner rather than prolong our death throws for decades.

I think what's he's implying is that our economy was structured by and for the Cold War such that, when the Soviet Union collapsed, so too did our economy.>> ^Yogi:
