I understand why people are placing their "hope" in Trump, but where in history has anyone been allowed to upset the apple cart and lived to talk about it?
The election was stolen by the Russians, Trump was crowned king of the US, and the GOP was purposely placed in power because the Russians know that the GOP doesn't have the spine to stand up and stop Trump.
True but they had easily beaten Georgia and could have kept it .As far as the work on the military goes yea they needed it .I think Georgia was a wake up call as to what might be heading their way .They must have known that Georgia was put up to attacking and maybe figured the west/nato had a bigger plan in the works . They were right too because of what happened in Ukraine next .I think they anticipated that and made plans with Crimea as to what to expect and what measures would be taken .ie the vote in the referendum .very well played imo
right after Georgia Putin started cracking down on corruption in the military and trying to move towards a model less dependent on 1 year (including training) conscripts.

We already live in a global world of haves and have nots, divided into zones determined by castes.
Rich and poor, urban and suburban. Handed life or struggling to survive.

I agree.
The best way to destroy the US would not be a ground invasion. All they would have to do is eliminate the petro dollar, crash the economy, and we (Americans) would do the rest.

That is true, and i would rather have things go along those lines. Maybe im just pessimistic or jaded, but from what ive seen (behavior-wise) from our population in the past few years, i dont think it would be an easy task to follow your ideology.
First, lets hope we dont fall into this sewer, and second, if we do, lets hope the population takes your approach.
