My entire life I’ve been hearing that America is done, we’re finished like the end of the Roman Empire. This past year has been the first time since maybe 1953 that America reversed its decline and we are going to keep stacking wins at a faster and faster rate.

the year we chose to lose the Korean War. Truman fired/demoted Douglas MacArthur (in 1951) after he suggested dropping nukes to win the war.

Qoute tweto

would a declining power do THIS?!"

gets in a pointless disastrous war of choice due to ego of dying senile ruler

    Fuck me, they want to be the Roman Empire so bad.

    Yeah bro go be an empire. Go spread yourself thin and die just like every other empire before you.

    What a dead end ideology. 2000 years of this shit not working and people still think it’s a viable path for a society.

      See all the neoclassical architecture and Roman symbolism like the Phrygian cap and fasces in the seal of the United States Senate on Capitol Hill
