Any who. I’m freaking out. It’s gonna be a long decade.

Buy a gun. Figure out how to use it. But first-aid gear. Figure out how to use it. Make friends. Rely on them and let them rely on you.

You get the end of the US as we know it. Or the end of the US as a concept altogether. Replaced by smaller states that carved themselves from the pie as it was baking.

Then what happens? To the nukes? To the massive amount of military hardware not used? To the people who fought and survived?

You get a government run by people who have nothing but contempt for the poor cracking down on anything that could threaten their way of life.

You get localized genocides as extremists who have been plotting for decades get to roam under-policed rural areas.

What do you get when you mix this rising unrest and political tension at home, a weakening of the economy and rising prices, and a country with more guns than people?

You get the Balkan’s on steroids.

You get terrorist attacks every day. And every attack begets 2 retaliations the next day.

We’ve spurned our allies globally, unseated ourselves from the position of global hegemony. And to top it off, we’re descending further into authoritarianism everyday with unrest increasing at a steady pace. All while weakening our economy.

Defaulting on our debt would cause massive hyper inflation as the government scrambles to pay down the debt. Millions of people are already food insecure. They’re about to loose even more support here in a couple weeks as the government shut down continues.

as the lingua franca of currencies globally.

USD being the default currency globally has ensured that our debt ceiling being too high wasn’t really ever going to bite us. But losing the globe’s dependence on us increases the chance of us defaulting on our debt.

These orders are pretty clearly designed to destabilize the country and the US’s position on the global stage. Pulling back USAID globally means that the areas that we existed in (to spend and make international communities dependent on the USD) has the potential to unseat the USD…

It’s pretty clear to me that most of the GOP and those in power are getting the marching orders externally. Or at least the top level GOP officials are getting marching orders from some 3rd party, whether that’s billionaires like Peter Thiel, or some other global power like Russia.
