U.S.A. to disappear in 50 years, Saffo predicts

"There's less than 50% chance that the United States will exist by the middle of this century. And that is actually a good news. If the previous century was shaped by nation states as the primary actors of international law. What is very clear, at least to me is the central actors, locus of power and economy and control, is shifting from the nation state to city state. Like Singapour, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles... California in some level is independent". Saffo went on to give examples of recent decisions of Governor Schwartzenegger in direct opposition of President Bush policy: by not sending the California National Guards to protect the Mexican border or California's accord with the UK on climate change. Unthinkable! "City states are the centers because they are large enough to have impact but they are small enough that everybody sees the collective consequences of individual actions".

Germany is no better off than the rest of Europe. They are heavily saturated in debt taken into account both their private and public debt as a percentage of their GDP.

@TheJkatt FUCK JUDIASM AS WELL

City-State? Hmmm. You mean like the Vatican (which apparently he forgot to mention?) HA.  I predict the exact opposite will occur, the "City-State" will fail.(As has been prophesied), along with your gold. Gold will bubble-bust leaving the stock-piles of Nazi gold held by the Swiss bank devalued, the Euro will tank if not be replaced, Germany will buy out most of Europe, and the "city-state" will fail. Write it down and date it. Afterwards, you can delete this Vatican promo ad.

@TheJkatt rethink your statement, How I may agree a little with what you say, it is good not to make enemies out of allies. It is not good to hate someone rather then to just accept them, I am not saying you should become involved in a religion, I am just saying you should just accept them for who they are.

Madison, Hamilton, etc didn't write the Federalist Papers for fun, they studied what happened to older governments (Roman, Greek, etc) and took parts from those to create the perfectly balanced gov. (between representational democracy and direct democracy)

This guy is an optimist. In 20 years the America we know today, will be totally

changed and not for the better.

Fuck Christianity, Fuck Islam, There most likely is no god. NOTHING LASTS FOREVER. Great empires constantly rise and fall. America is no different. And this is coming from an american teen
