This is absolutely true. The American population is spoiled rotten and not worth a shit. It is a society that has for practical purposes a 50 % out of wedlock birth rate. A defunct subversive educational system. Is ass deep in debilitating recreational drugs. A substantial number of people who don't know whether they want to be boys or girls or something in between. That elects a cluster of vaudville entertainers as politicians. Which is now applauding psychopathology as a creative civil right. And we are importing more of the same with our immigration policies as fast as we can bring them in.

I notice the word 'decline' or 'declining' used 7 times.

The word 'imperial' was found once and 'empire' was used 5 times.

I see 'fading superpower' and 'once-superpower' were each used once.

Propagandists crave this kind of repetition but this is pretty crude even for Russian agitprop.

what is the big deal here, the Romans lasted a thousand years, you have had a quarter of that, but then you have had more barbarians to contend with, including many more in your own country, take heart though; decline lasts a long time and remember the Russians know far more about empire than you do, theirs is very old

I think the repetition of the words I listed were the entire purpose of the article, nothing more.

The notion that America is an empire in the sense that the old tsarist empire was or that the Soviet Union was is laughable. And the CIS that replaced it is a pale shadow of what the tsars and commissars had.

I routinely condemn the drift toward an imperial presidency and the vast spread of military bases we have around the world but that is not comparable to a Roman empire or the tsarist empire or the Soviet Union.

America is an empire like was pagan Rome. Very much so!

Ancient Rome used its legions to conquer and rule provinces via appointed governors. Like Herod's family ruled Canaan/Israel. But they directly ruled them, collected taxes, conducted the Roman census (as Joseph and Mary obeyed their Roman census obligation), had Roman magistrates, conducted official business in Latin, maintained the Roman roads, built extensive aquaducts, etc.

Can you say that America does anything comparable? We generally don't conquer anyone (with a few exceptions like Iraq/Afghanistan) and, if we have bases in foreign countries, we don't rule them or tax them or conduct a census or adjudicate in their courts according to American law.

So they are not comparable. Rome directly ruled an empire. America is at most a neoliberal neocolonial superpower with huge economic and military influence.

The two are not the same or directly comparable.

If you want a closer example, the British empire would be much closer to the Roman empire but even that falls considerably short of a fair comparison.

That would be you with jealousy. Every time we go to war it cost America huge in life and dollars. We never financially make a killing by going to war. We never own the land we conquer and we always try to leave it better if the people will allow it. Who has the blinders on?????

Is Vlad paying you to say these things? Because they're daft.

You didn't even address my salient points; you just ignored them and hoped they would go away.

No, America most certainly is not an empire in the sense that the Roman empire was. It's not even comparable to the British empire. That's not to say that we aren't doing a lot more than we should around the world but you should compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges.

You just have an ax to grind on this issue because poor Mother Russia and the weak sister (the EU) don't have the clout that America does.

It's not our fault if we are strong and the EU is weak (by choice) or Mother Russia is weak (due to longterm mismanagement and reliance on a gas-station economy in an era of falling energy prices as America ramps up to finally destroy OPEC's power over world economies).

By such statements you expose how your mind and emotions work. You do not care for truth, you care for clout, you have several axes to grind, you are bitter etc ... You have fear of being weak or inferior so you need to put down others etc ... You take your feeling of worth from identifying whith power that you are subject to or group that you belong to, etc ...

So many conclusions from few phrases ;)

I see two options - 1. multipolar world, where USA can be first among the equals, or 2. bipolar world, where USA will dominate Europe and Latin America, while China will dominate Asia and Russia. (Africa will be zone of proxy conflicts)

I think that because bipolarity is the most common for all complex structures it the most likely.

Transformation might take couple decades, best if without major war.

We haven't heard that one in the last fifteen years, since corrupt President Chiraq and his embarrassing prime minister de Villepain descended on the United Nations (in the runup to the Iraq invasion) to explain to us benighted American clods in condescending tones that the era of America as the lone superpower (hyperpower, unipower) was over and that the EU was the new pivot man in a global Russian/Chinese circle jerk.

And it still hasn't happened.

or 2. bipolar world, where USA will dominate Europe and Latin America, while China will dominate Asia and Russia.

You'd better phone the Kremlin. I don't think Vlad would appreciate your idea that his role in history is to be China's bitch.

No, I won't waste a google (DDG) search on it.

You never addressed the very fundamental differences in governance, central control, courts, taxes, census as I laid them out in my above post. I didn't even get to issues like citizenship by which individuals in the Roman provinces were also full Roman citizens, as was the case with Saul of Tarsus (the apostle Paul).

It's very easy to ignore that someone has pointed out that you are profoundly wrong and just insist instead that they go off on a wild goose chase via google, all so you don't have to admit that you said something stupid and unsupported by historical facts.

So, no, I won't google it for you because you're just wrong.
