the rise of the east and the fall of the west is distinct with china especially moving forward in as many ways as America is falling behind.
the us influence is waning in the same way roman influence fell.
the currency has been debased - America has pumped over $1 trillion in the repo market
with no hope of ever recovering that money (which is printed out of thin air anyway)
- rome currency became next to worthless over time. the roman denarius was produced with less silver over a long period where it got to the point that its worth dropped markedly. more coins less silver content = worthless currency.
the same thing is happening to the usd. Russia is skirting the swift system as well as china. china is building alliances inside the us sphere of influence with germany England Russia and probably france. Huawei is building a network in germany as well as England plus china is building 4 or 5 nuclear power stations in england
china/Russia are building a $55 billion pipeline from Siberia to china
romes armed forces and far away bases cost more than rome could afford. America is feeling this pinch as well which is why she is on a constant war footing with troops scattered all over the planet to take plunder to feed the beast.
immigration and acceptance of any group of people both to grow the empire and collect taxes which were and are needed to feed a voracious central government. which the double effect of actually weakening the societal structure.
both had and have a corrupt ruling elite which considered the leader as a god (forgoing for the minute whomever is in the whitehouse)
wars - like rome America has since 1945 been involved in a constant war fighting someone somewhere. rome too had a parallel in that to feed the empire they ahd to fight and expand. both are colonialist and expansionist.
tho rome lasted 500 years the us is only 250 yrs old but it seems America will take a fall quicker. again omitting trump from the equation, the leadership of the us are all stark raving mad and will effect the fall of a once great country much quicker than the roman generals and senate could back then
rome also tried to remove Christianity as America is doing now. china and Russia, once strong communist nations are more Christian than America. this alone will help America self destruct
the decline of America has been pronounced since kennedys shooting and the early 60's and it grows every day
