I think the US establishment has long decided that in order to live well, they need to stamp with soldier's boots on other nations, and if they can't do it literally, they will use the information war (which they are good at). For example if Russia used english as its main language (hypothetical) it could probably fight this information garbage that is trrown at it by EU and US (say through CNN) much more effectively. And I think the common people don't give a sh*t abot america in the first place, but they are fed up with these 'liberals' who'd sell the country to the americans if they could (Gaidar, and all that team, plus the oligarchs like Berezovsky whom UK harbours). Only reason EU and US are trying to break russia's back once again is because they don't want to depend on Russia for oil and gas, and generally they can't handle having anyone who disagrees with them. Mainly US, because EU has to double check everything it does with US.
All is irrelevant though, as it will all collapse when the crash happens and the US dolalr will become a piece of paper, banks will close down, and gold will be at about $1000 level or more. Than with the collapse of financial system the whole US will kind of implode into itself and will be busy fixing itself. And since we all depend on its economy, we also will be in deep pooopoo. :hmm:
Americans react poorly to the Roman Empire analogy, but really it's so similar in many ways, and just because the comparison hurts due to nastiness of Roman empire and how violently it ended, the comparison in general stands, it's fact.
