  1. truthseekr420 j We're not talking about a country in the sense of a nation state. England's Empire fell, does that mean that England no longer exists? No, it just plays a smaller role on the world stage. That is what will happen to America as well— in fact, it has been happening for a long time. I don't think anyone can argue that we have more power today than we did in the 1950's, as the world's only superpower (that wasn't destroyed by war). To that token, Russia kept most of its empire intact, even after the fall of the U.S.S.R.. It's still a massive country governed by a people living mostly in a small pocket of that territory. That's what this video refers to. Influence, not people.
