The USA and our current imbecile in charge are heading over a cliff and the world is watching. The implosion of the bond market an the flight from US T-Bills into other vehicles is the death knell for the American Century (which came close from 1945 - 2025, but is fizzling out at 80 years... pretty pathetic in Imperial terms and timescales.)

I am pretty sure that Madarain will be the lingua-franca of the 21st Century and that by 2050, the world will view America much the way the people of the Dominican Republic look at Haiti.
