I think its more likely that the USA will fall from grace because of economic issues and foreign policies due to a out of control Federal Government.
The writing is on the wall and has been for quite some time. Since WWI, our country has become an imperialist one not unlike the British and Roman empires of their time.
Not only since that time is there deficit spending, centralized banking, fiat money, and a standing Army (all unconstitional), our public education camps are only succeeding in turning out dumb, numb, pro-government fascist sheeple.
Due to the fact that we can't churn out enough engineering educated people, technology companies are turning towards much cheaper countries that do, like India and China. Companies like Intel are already one foot out the door, and you will see a continual but steady divestment of infrastructure here.
Technology is our last real manufacturing base. After that we only have a service based economy and are dependant on the rest of the world to create real goods for us.
Couple that with our immense deficit spending, foreign policy and military that goes around trying to force the "American Way" on other countries, and you get a lot of people who will be very happy when we can't cash the checks we are writing.
I saw a recent poll that people thought we could win a war with Iraq and North Korea at the same time. That certainly shows how naive and brainwashed the majority of the population is. Worst case scenario is that a war with Iraq AND North Korea means that we have opened up a
6 Front World War.
NK doesn't sneeze without China wiping its nose, so what is happening there means it has the full backing of the Communist country. Given that and the recent build-up of the Chinese Air Force and Navy, I would hazard an educated guess that the push has started to "reintegrate" Taiwan back into the mainland (front #4) by suckering us into being pre-occupied with nukes in NK. Our spy satellites are currently tasked with watching NKs nuke plants and harbors, various terrorist cargo ships, Iraq, and Afghanistan. So are we really spending a lot of time watching China right now?
A war with Iraq, North Korea, and the Taliban/Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan also leaves our military power so thinned out that we will no longer have the ability to contain four more countries with scores to settle, three of which are
Nuclear powers: India v. Pakistan over Kashmir (front #5) and Israel v. Syria over the Golan Heights (front #6). And if Israel retaliates against any Arab country, I can guarantee the Middle East is going to turn into a sheet of lumpy melted glass (fronts #x,y & z).
The money that it would take to participate in even a three front war is already more than our faltering economy can handle.
Couple that with our indefinate "War on Terror," no one is going to have to invade our country to destroy it. We are doing an excellent job of imploding it ourselves.
