TJ, You seem to believe that if only the US were to fall in a really serious manner that some coalition, I suppose your "nuke backed Euro/Yen/Ruble/Yuan/Gold" coalition would just step in and run the world to their benefit. Anything is possible, but I really don't think this is very likely. Before the US empire you had the British who mostly kept order in the world by means of the Royal Navy, going back to the time of Napoleon. But before that you had the old multipolar world, with Spain, France, England, Portugal contending with each other and with the lesser powers, and in those days global trade and travel was a pretty risky venture. In those days there were really no "offshore banking" havens, unless you count Blackbeard's Island. <grin> If the US falls, what I believe is likely is a return to some version of that multipolar world, and with it very much less global trade and travel, both due to increased danger but more importantly, just the removal of the host of powerful incentives for it that now exist. And for the world, this is a very good thing. The current scheme wrecks the environment of country after country and wastes our billion year bequest of natural resources in just a few generations. The theoretical underpinnings of globalism is a materialist construction, related to Marxism, and based upon the same fallacy, that man is an "economic animal" and this is just not true. Man is a social and maybe spiritual creature foremost. Slagle

Nukes? I don't even need a rifle, let alone nukes. Freedom does me just fine: <... no invasion is called for. Merely a nuke-backed, Euro/Yen/Yuan/Ruble/Gold enforced delegitimization of USD ought to do the trick. The empire's life blood is its money; end the money and so goes the empire, for the emperor has no clothing. > My plans are progressing nicely. Bwahahahahah...heh..heh..heh... There is a peculiar duality I notice, that as the existing fiat realms head into stormy seas, my plans are heading to fruition. Nature seems to be like that. Or perhaps people see opportunities when what was doesn't look like such a great idea anymore compared with what becomes possible. You should be informed, as you already have been, that you are also, and already, in my shearing shed, ready to be fleeced. The ironic thing is that you will volunteer! You will even be a leader in deposing your old Aztec realm. The New World Order is progressing apace. It is not the PNAC to which I refer. Mqurice

you make the have-nots of the USA sound like girly men, which they most assuredly are not. Too funny. I don't believe you actually have any personal knowledge about the US -- and you shouldn't believe what you see in the movies. The US doesn't have any "have not" men except for men with dementia, bad drug habits, or chronic diseases, the aged and the infirm. There are, unfortunately, "have not" women who have too many kids without being married, and not enough education to ever get ahead, and again, the aged and infirm. They're not out there fomenting revolution. Admittedly, we do have people who have less money than they'd like, but this tends to be the result of not finishing school, not staying married, having children without being married, drug use, and other bad choices. There is plenty of pie to go around, you just have to work for it.
