Actually, the crisis we are in right now is the Cold Warriors losing. It's funny the blind spot some people have. We are falling because of the precise same thing that the USSR fell from. When it was the USSR, the causes were clear as day. Even though the circumstances are more or less the same, we can't afford our welfare state and profligate military, people still think we won the Cold War. We didn't win, we just lost on a longer timeline than the USSR. But make no mistake, it destroyed both nations.
We became a totalitarian police state many years ago as a result of the Cold War.
J. Edgar Hoover and Bill Casey, they were evil men, treasonous traitorous men who destroyed the Republic.
The canary didn't die because this mine is dangerous, it died because it's lazy and wasn't raised with a proper work ethic.
