Weak, divided America can not rule the world.

 A STRONG, UNITED, SELF SUFFICIENT AMERICA IS ITS STRENGTH

30 YEARS OF OVEREXTENSION AND DIVISION 

We see conflict and an increasingly dangerous world. The United States is directly involved in most every dispute and conflict in the world. The belief that we can and should control the direction of the world is the root cause of were the world is today.

The United States became the greatest nation in worlds history, because it was a rich in natural resources, it was isolated geographically by two great oceans from most all its potential enemies and it had a unified belief of the population in the promise of the country being a land of laws and opportunity. It was truly a light upon the hill and an example to the rest of the world.

We watched as the Soviet Union's experiment in socialism and central control of the economy eventually collapsed by its inevitable conflict with basic human nature. We then preceded to emulate its failed policies by increasingly adopting those failed policies. We can say the same for Western Europe, while both are still alive and functioning, they are but a shadow of their former selves in their self reliance, work ethic, legal system and the move to control every aspect of life from Washington and Brussels. 

At the same time, both have sought to manage the affairs and control events around the world. It is becoming clear, that its ability to control the direction of the world is coming to an end. The western world is over extended, its economies are over extended in debt, its social adhesion is fragmenting and chaos is becoming the norm rather than the exception. 

While not yet vulnerable to existential failure, the need for a change of direction and policy is now eminent before that becomes the new reality. Denial is always the biggest crutch of those who are in trouble. Just believe it is not so and the problems will go away. 

Sadly, human history has a view of an empires demise, and it is not a positive picture. Like human tragedy, they usually have to hit the point of desperation before they feel the need to change direction.
