Read about the fall of the Roman Empire and then look at the fall of all empires. There is one consistency.

They fall when they are run by weak, divided elites and picked apart by outside powers.

And Donald Trump is a very weak man. No Intelligence, the emotional maturity of a six year old and he surrounds himself with even weaker people.

The Polish -Lithuanian commonwealth that dominated Eastern Europe for 4 centuries from the 14th to 18th Century.
How did it fall?
It was wiped off the map by its neighbors who were able to bribe senators into paralysing political decisions.

Mitch McConnell anyone!!!

The Ottoman Empire, The Qing Dynasty, were chipped away by foreign interference. When you open up a country to corruption, outside powers can purchase influence, shape political outcomes, and play factions against each other in the service of their own competing agendas.

And Putin knows his history. He knows how it works. He can pick and pick at American Democracy because he knows there are way too many useful idiots who have been motivated by greed and he’s found that that was how he could manipulate, he set his chess pieces perfectly.
