    Cracks are widening. Empires don’t fall for being corrupt, they fall when the cost of holding it all together stops being worth it.

      Oh you think it’s costing Trump and his cohorts too much money to be worth it anymore?

      I don’t think so - I think they’ve all massively increased their wealth whilst in office. So what cost are you talking about?

        I’m talking about the cost of maintaining the illusion of order, legitimacy and global control.
