2000 years from now there will be history lessons about America's fall and decline due to debasement of currency, costly wars, political instability, and deficit spending.

The mistakes in History repeats itself!

this is what is happening in america today. or is imminent

I dont understand why people call the USA America, America is a continent people, not a country! Arent mexicans, colombians, venezuelans, argentinians, cubans or peruvians not allowed to call themselves 'americans'? Find another way to call yourselves and don't steal the name of AMERICA, which encompasses from Alaska to Patagonia.

@yTubeBlowsBigBalls Every super power has a rise and decline.

To continue on my comment below. Thats why the Western Empire fell. Eastern Empire broke off from Western Empire due to similiar reasons probably. Didnt look into it. Thats why they divided the Roman Empire into 2 territories. West and East Roman Empire. Most likely due to differences about "micromanagement" or too big to command and was looked at sophisticated to manage?

Im too big for my "briches". Who is that guy saying that? I know hes not talking about me. Fucking retard.

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

Wasnt just assassinating politicians and diplomacy and deploying troops to hold the front lines. Fucking mob was getting out of control. I cant stand pee'ons, I mean civilians.

Thats why ROME had their ELITE Legionnaires (Praetorians and Urban Cohorts) guarding ROME (city). Supposivly Roman Legionnaires were not allowed to come into Rome or cities? Not sure about that. But later on Legionnaires were allowed to come into Rome after something happened.

@yTubeBlowsBigBalls Well maybe, bzt as the video shows - the ultimate downfall was preceded by a series of assasinations, which left the Empire in disarray which led to vulnurablility.

@MrRaven92 yeah.Canadian barbarians from the north rape the americans and plunder the capital

@TheTokkin so you're saying deficit spending is fine? we are screwing over the chinese and everyone else in the world we are borrowing from. just because the US dollar is the contemporary reserve currency, doesn't mean that we should be allowed to spend other nation's money while we keep DEFICIT SPENDING.

Also, the only reason other countries permit this abuse is because of our global military dominance. if we weren't the big kids on the block, we would have collapsed just like the romans.
