There is an interesting correlation between what is going on in the USA today & what happened at the end of the Roman Empire.
What brought down the empire?
1/Invasions by Barbarian tribes (we had 911 & Al Qaeda/Taliban then Russians invaded our elections...)
2/Economic troubles and overreliance on slave labor (we’ve had a reliance on illegal immigrants working on farms, in construction & restaurants)
3/The rise of the Eastern vs West Empire (we have China)
4/Overexpansion and military overspending (The U.S. Spends More on Its Military Than 144 Countries Combined)
5/Government corruption and political instability (this one is all about the GOP & Trump)
6/Christianity & the loss of traditional values (Religion at its core was created to control the destructive tendencies of man but people have figured out it was all just a story & science is the true god-society is currently in the middle of this transition & it will be painful)
7/Weakening of the Roman legions (consider what the Trump administration has done to the USA’s standing in the world & the politicization of our courts and key Federal agencies)
