The chance to shut down the riots has already passed in some places. It's a lifestyle now for tens of thousands. Places like Portland are going to burn to the ground; the credibility and economy of the blue states will fail, which will accelerate the whole thing.Navigator wrote: Mon Apr 19, 2021 9:42 pm The US isn't going to lose, nor is the country ending anytime soon.

As bad as things are here, they are MUCH worse in the homelands of our enemies.
For example, Chinese are going to start starving soon after war starts, and their economic problems are much worse than our own.
It will take a LOT to bring the USA to its knees. It starts with economic upheaval and a major war. Not just woke culture warriors. It takes a lot to bring an end to a world superpower.
Now the war may look bleak for the US for a while, but it will come out on top, but in a very weakened state.
At Beijing, Xi Jinping is doubtlessly assessing the moment. Surely, he must ask himself, “Is the window most open now to conquer Taiwan?” Seizing Taiwan is a critical step in achieving the PRC’s midrange strategic aim of imposing its hegemony in East Asia. China’s longer-term aspiration is to overtake the United States as global leader.
For Xi, that window may be optimal for just 45 months and counting.
A year ago Portland was considered one of the best places to live in the US. Today it is a burned out hellscape. Portland was always about downtown. Now downtown is in ruins. It's not safe to walk around now. And the American media has completely blacked out coverage of what is really going on. I grew up in Seattle, and the city has also been trashed (but Seattle has been sinking for the last 20 years). The American media is criminal.guest wrote: Tue Apr 20, 2021 12:24 amThe chance to shut down the riots has already passed in some places. It's a lifestyle now for tens of thousands.
