    I couldn’t get very far through this briar-patch of buzz-words. But the collapse of the Soviet Union was brought about by material economic conditions, not by jumping up and down on their own dicks the way America is handling it.

    I suspect the apt model for America’s future is the British Empire.

      Except the US is about to suffer those material economic conditions because they’re jumping on their own dicks.

      “Revenge” I believe is the correct word

      They are kinda doing a version of shock therapy on themselves though. (On their own dick.)
