Since the fall of rome, do you think the united states will follow the same fate?

Question

does history repeats itself? will the u.s become no more in the near future? if so, when do you think?

Answer 1

We're heading in that direction.  We're not mentioned in the bible in the last days, but Israel, Revised Roman Empire, China and Russia are.

We'll be around, but not a power of consequence.  We're building on our crop land.  It's more economical for a farmer to sell to a developer than grow crops because it can be imported cheaper than he can grow it.

Our morals have gone down; we were great because we were good.  Can't say that anymore.

Don't know when.

Answer 2

yes I believe the U.S. will crumble eventually due to corruption in the government. of course i dont know when

Answer 3

very soon if Obama gets elected, of course......McCain isn't much better.

Answer 4

Every great empire will eventually decline. Rome did it, the British Empire did it, and one day the US will follow suit. Hopefully, it won't be for a long time.

Answer 5

I really do not have an answer to that question but I thought It was a great question to ask...Ill give u a star : 0

Answer 6

History doesn't repeat itself but man does constantly! All

great empires fall due to corruption and other issues. The

American empire will fall and I think it is happening now.

I don't think it will happen overnight but I think its power and place in the world order will fade and be replaced by Asia.

Answer 7

The Roman Empire didn't just cease to exist, it faded away slowly. One day someone turned around and said "hey, didn't that city over there full of barbarians use to be the centre of a powerful empire?" And the reply they got was "who cares?"

I think the USA will go the same way, bit by bit it will run down.

The level of education will get worse as more and more kids dropout of school, cities will fall into disrepair as larger numbers of people end up on welfare and just don't care - just look at New Orleans. The fact that the city flooded in the first place was due to bad management and much of the city is still a mess. If that had happened 40 years ago the city would have been rebuilt within a couple of years. Again with the ground zero space in NYC. Since 911, how many skyscrapers have been built in China? Dozens. The whole development of Dubai has taken place and yet no replacement buildings in NYC. The USA is already in decay.

Answer 8

We are well on our way. We have a Stagnant 2 party system which prevents outside parties from  participating, we are over 10 trillion dollars in debt, need I say more! Some day the time will come to pay the piper and we will be too broke to do so. When wil it be, just as soon as everyone we owe money to decides to call in their debts!
