RISE AND FALL OF GREAT NATIONS

This caught my interest:

US-like-USSR-will-crumbleRussian-envoy


At different points in world history, nations fought for conquest giving rise to empires such as those of the Persian, Ottoman, Mongolian and Roman, among others. These countries were once masters of the world who invaded/ruled other countries for wealth and resources.

We also have Spain, France, Portugal, etc., as examples of what were once "world powers". And of course, we have the USSR in recent memory.

However, aside from their rise to power, they also have another thing in common - their fall.

If this "pattern" continues, the chances of seeing the US fall will be high.

Then it won't be a question of who, why or how, but WHEN.
