America's Death Rattle - '24 Will Roar, In '25 Something Will Die!

Predicting the future is impossible, so I'm going to do it anyway...

I have no special powers, I’m not a psychic like Miss Cleo, I don’t dream-sleep like Edger Cayce, or speak in quatrains* like Nostradamus. In fact, I can’t even spell clairvoyant. Nope, this isn’t that kind of prediction.

*Quatrain- A bovine will be wed to a chicken, and though the beast has wings, it will not fly, but instead, burn with the fire of 1,000 suns. (Chick-fil-a will begin selling a chicken fried steak sandwich, and it sales will be so horrible, that global thermonuclear war is the result!)

This is all based on some well known cycles, some very obvious trends, and a self-assessed volatility appraisal of what is, and what cannot, last much longer.

2024- This is supposedly the year of hyper-tumult. The Fourth Turning, 200 year cycles, and 20 year cycles, and the highly anticipated 2,100 year cycle!

The Fourth Turning was due to begin around 2020, and if my memory serves me correctly, it did end up being a rather dynamic year. I think there were some mostly peaceful/destructive riots, some plandemics, a presidential impeachment, maybe a stolen election or two… hard to remember. Just six days after it ended, a violent, bloody, deadly, armed, white supremacist Nazi insurrection, worse than 10 9/11’s and 100 Pearl Harbors combined, with thousands of Congress members murdered in cold blood, and more beheadings than the French Revolution…

The 200 Year cycle was supposed to spell the end of a US “democracy”, but there is also a 250 year theme whereby most empires end. America is 246.

The 20 year cycle, that folds into the 80 year Fourth Turning, but still in relative alignment for the 2020’s.

The 2,000 year cycle on the other hand, is supposed to be cataclysmic!

You can research all of these, I’m not making them up, but I’m also not going to belabor them.

2024 is also a presidential election year, and in this era, that means trouble. The last one got us stolen results (or accusations of stolen results, if you prefer), another impeachment, a little protest at the Capitol, political prisoners, and a military guarded, walled and barbed wire protected, “peaceful transition of power”, and some Banana Republic style prosecutions of a former president. No big deal. I imagine the next one will be smooth as silk!

2023 has us attempting to destroy a nuclear armed power, but only for the limited purposes of removing their leader, balkanizing their nation, and ending their existence as currently constructed. They probably won’t mind.

Oh, and we also have made it pretty clear that we to defeat China too, because why not? There are some scant rumors that we forced the two countries to get into bed with one another, in their desperate attempt to not be destroyed by us, but that’s almost assuredly over-blown.

By the way, there is now some chatter about how NATO and the US, may pivot away from the Ukraine so they can focus on China, in part because the war with Russia is unwinnable, and because it’s bad political optics to be losing a war that you championed for a year and half while going into a presidential election.

Hey Europe, let me introduce you to your next new enemy- Ukrainian Terrorism! Why? Because all those weapons had to go somewhere, and when the Ukrainians realize that they lost 200,000 men, at least one fourth of their country (maybe more if Poland takes the west), and potentially their entire existence as a functioning nation state, because of “Western Hegemony”, only to be abandoned because of a presidential election in the United States, they…might…be…a…little…pissed! Some times the cannon fodder bites back!

Here’s a really big thing- IF you even believe that the 2024 election could possibly be legit, can anyone be more incompetent than the current Muppet sitting in the big chair? Let’s face it, Biden was always an idiot, and legendarily so when it came to foreign policy, but now, he’s a dementia riddled idiot, with a dumber than rocks, slept her way to the top, vacuous whore for a VP. If you were an enemy of the US, can you ever imagine a better time to make your move, than while those two clowns are “in charge”? And if that’s not good enough, those same two clowns while they are busy trying to make their citizens, believe they can be “re-elected” to lead some more?

Even stolen elections have consequences, and with their abysmal approval ratings, it’s going to look pretty suspicious if they get another 81 million votes. Even credulity has it’s limits.

Another thing- There’s is also a tipping point in the balance of military power. One of the reasons why so many US generals wanted to start a nuclear war with the Soviets in 1961, is because they saw that balance shifting, and knew that the overwhelming advantage would soon be lost.

When our idiot generals are running around talking about us going to war with China in 2025, don’t you think the Chinese hear that, and realize that time isn’t on their side indefinitely? The Russians started a huge military build-up months ago, do you think they want to drag their feet, wait for the US to catch-up again, and have a war then, will potentially a lucid CiC?

Also, if China actually wants to take Taiwan with military force, do you think they want to wait until we are “ready”? Wait until we send a couple of years more worth of military equipment to Taiwan?

Nope: 2024 Is The Year It All Goes Down! The Year of the Roar!

By 2025, either the world is changed forever, or the US no longer exists as currently conceived. Something is going to die! The petro-dollar, Western Hegemony, or the entire United States Empire. Perhaps NATO and the EU?

It’s not lost on Russia that Europe is very weak. They disarmed themselves to arm the Ukraine, or is quickly getting all of that equipment destroyed. The Russians are building their entire military force, every single day, and Europe can’t figure-out how to make more munitions. If the US get’s all pivoted to China, what’s to stop the Russians from marching across Europe? Nukes? You can’t nuke everything, especially advancing conventional forces in half a dozen “friendly” nations.

The nuclear question is interesting because I assume it’s already baked in the cake. That’s to say, anyone intelligent has already factored in the possibility of nukes being used, and realizes a few things-

1. That’s a two way street. The Brits could consider nuking Russian troops after they are halfway thru Poland, but is that going to stop them, and what’s Poland going to think about it? If my military is advancing thru multiple nations, I’m sure you have to at least consider that nation before you nuke it, but I don’t have to talk to nobody if I want to nuke every capitol in Europe, because it’s a simple, binary choice.

2. Yeah, they could go full strategic nukes against Russia proper, but no sooner than Russia could respond in-kind. Is that the tit-for-tat you think you want to play? Because even if you do, those conventional forces are still going to be on their way to you, afterwards, and now you’re going to be already nuked when they get there… that’s what we call “less than ideal”

3. Or, you try to keep it purely conventional, and hope it ends up like WWII did? Oh, except unlike WWII, you won’t have the Russians to basically win the war single handily by trading millions of lives on the cold eastern front, because this time, it is the Russians. That’s quite a pickle!

2024 & 2025, Buckle Up, Buttercup, It’s going to be a bumpy ride!
