watching the american collapse will be something extremely satisfying for those like me who resent what they did to Germany during the two world wars, and what they did to Russia and eastern Europe financing the soviets, God Bless America!!!

Resent away. Meanwhile, back in the real world the first countries to actually face collapse are in the EU—including Greece, Italy, Spain, France as well as their increasingly indebted paymaster…….wait for it…….Germany.

Ricardo, you have to make a distinction between the US government and the population. In the end the peoples of Russia, Germany and possibly Americans in the future were/are the victims of the same maffia.

Having said that, I agree that European civilization has no future as long as no regime change has taken place in Washington, or if that does not happen, at least the West (mother Europe annexed by son USA) is cancelled and traded in for the North (Paris-Berlin-Moscow axis), with the danger of a last minute alliance between a neo-bolshevik USA and China.

The collapse will come and we Europeans should not abandon Euro-America when that happens, not in the least because it is in our interest to do so. Alliances are like a hand of cards, that determine how the next game is going to be played. An alliance between Europe, Russia and the remnants of Euro-America can form a new alliance, predominantly based on a common white-christian heritage, that can easily keep China in check in a non-confrontational duopoly.

Arthur: I Agree, but the coming collapse will be a filter and probably the best kind of white americans will survive. I mean, I don´t want an alliance with a white from new york for example, but maybe I could get along with somebody from Kentucky.

5% of the worlds population using upwards of 25% of the worlds daily crude oil output that is the U.S..We as a nation are set to be in deep doo doo.

It doesnt matter how much crude we use. The world is better off the more crude we use.

@SOS It won’t matter how much we use until we don’t have the stuff to use anymore.

“It doesnt matter how much crude we use. The world is better off the more crude we use.”

It is simple enough for even a small child to figure out. The more crude oil we use, the less we have remaining. The faster we use the remainder, the sooner it runs out.

The world is being destroyed by the crude that we use, the more that we use, the ‘worse off’ the world will be. It is very well understood, even by oil industry shills, that if we burn all of what remains, we will create a global mass extinction event. It has already begun.

Maybe the world will be ‘better off’ without human beings, I guess ‘Econ/SOS’ might have a point in this respect. Personally, I would like to see our species, and millions of others, continue on living on this Earth for at least a few hundred more years.
