You dont think it is? Russia as we knew it is dead - might be about to change names again..? Soviet Union declined and Russia the last couple of decades was on the up. Declining is what super powers have historically done. What goes up must come down.
But they are not going anywhere and they are not in power. Voting is hard there and Republicans as we saw last election make voting harder for Democratic areas, not sure if the Democrats do the same for republican areas but id assume so. Its just one business competing against another business in the guise of politics. That's one reason why making voting compulsory is a benefit to the people. Both parties have to make voting easier.
I agree with you except that i do think America is in decline. Its not to late to turn it around but they need to rethink their strategy and world views.
Not to Trump & most Republicans it seems.
Republicans can't win enough votes to control government in CA, OR and WA. Same with several states on the east coast. Demographic shift in other states that are now red will make them look more like CA than what they have right now. By 2030, it will be all but over for white power. So, now is the most dangerous time. But we already have numbers on our side. It's all a matter of how effective the Republican Aryan Nationalist Party are at suppressing the votes of the majority.
The difference between Russia & China is that 1 nation, Russia, is a bellicose thug while the other, China, to not that stupid.
Its interesting as this chat was done in Sept/Nov, before the Russian Ukraine war and he mentions why Russia is so protective of the flat lands around them and how NATO has been 'pushing' on Russia's borders.
The US education system needs a renovation from top to bottom and particularly at the top. Rockstar profs make a fortune with tenue and underpaid teaching assistants do the teaching for a pittance, the students are grossly over charged.@schuylaar

I think another factor is the collapse of the social contract that was in place when my folks wrote my undergraduate ticket: get a degree; get a job.
They should be way louder on stuff like this.@schuylaar

A Trumper Lyft driver who 'wanted to talk' couldn't name one Biden achievement..'he did that Act, right?' He couldn't even remember the 1400 bones that was put in his pocket (the easy one to remember).
fucking democrats HAVE to get the truth out there, why the fuck don't they find someone like texas Paul that will hold podcasts? aim them directly at the magats, make the hosts and subject matter look appealing to them, them keep hitting them with the truth...explain to them in very simple terms how we're still dealing with a lot of trump's bullshit, and republican fuckery...but make it palatable, tell them"you think you know who has been lying to you? well guess again, this is who has been lying to you, and here's why"...they love hearing about people lying to them, and if it changes the mind of even a few, then they will continue to spread the truth among trump's base...
Q: We are Forestry and there is a log jam in the river..what do we do? Canadians? I'd like to hear how you would handle at Forestry.
Declining? You mean President For Life is dying..I've never seen someone from Five Eyes be so happy that America is struggling.
Yes, declining. Its just natural. Spain and Portugal were both superpowers for eg. They are both still wonderful countries. Just because i discuss things doesnt mean im happy its happening. To bury one's head in the sand is kinda pointless and wont help to either slow the decline or turn it around. In fact there's an argument for shining the light on the issue and hope it gets addressed.
