While Donald Trump touts his success in securing financial stability, America’s reckless debt and military spending will eventually cause the system to crash and burn like the final days of the Soviet Union, Ron Paul has warned.
www.rt.com/usa/414931-ron-paul-america-meltdown/President Trump has long boasted about bringing his business acumen to his role in leading the United States of America, but even he cannot stop an impending economic meltdown, former Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul told RT. “The way I see it is in economic terms,” Paul said. “My understanding is that it wasn’t our military build-up in the United States that brought the Soviet system down. What happened was the Soviets were working with a system that we – people in free markets – saw as totally unviable.” Talking about his beliefs in Austrian economics, Paul said communism, along with fascism, socialism and even Keynesianism (a form of economics popular after WWII) were not viable systems and will eventually fail, and the same could happen to the United States and it’s militarism. “We’re gonna have a sudden, cataclysmic end which is sort of what happened to the Soviet system. It’s not going to be identical, there was a succession movement and some of those countries left the Soviet system. Our states probably aren’t going to break up, but I do sincerely believe that we will no longer be able to afford our empire around the world. Our empire, although we don’t claim ownership to it, it’s a lot of money and a lot of influence, and we threaten with weapons and we use sanctions to hold our empire together, [but] I think that’s coming to an end.”

Is US an empire? Who deconstructes it? In Soviet Un were outside and inside enemies; it was a collosian on clay feet, but is US alike? Aren't people still trying to want to get a view-live in America? Get a job there?..
So, death of US wouldn't be soon. Everything rounds not around the ideas but people.

It is about the influence of United States in the regions of the world! It is undesirable for many, and this is understandable because the US pursue only their own selfish goals and are not interested in the opinions of others! |

The OP raises three major issues as far as I can tell, addressed here:
1) Does anyone take Ron Paul or Russia Today seriously? Ron Paul’s been in Congress, but isn’t there now, and at age 82 likely to fade from the political scene. While libertarianism is influential in the USA, Libertarian politicians haven’t been too successful. RT is a Kremlin mouthpiece. While I’m not saying one should overlook it as a source of info on Russia, its bias must be kept and mind; stuff it says about the USA is unreliable.
2) We’re aware no civilization lasts forever. Still, I’m not holding my breath waiting for the USA to collapse. The Roman Empire lurched on for 250+ years upon beginning to develop cracks after Hadrian’s reign, and modern, technological states are more effective at surveilling potential breakaway movements than Rome was, enjoying more stable governance mechanisms to boot. Washington doesn’t employ “tax farmers” to collect its revenues, nor deploy legionnaires to enforce its rule in Kansas. Even Ron Paul in RT isn’t forecasting dissolution, merely loss of global influence, a transition the UK, where life expectancy is 81 versus Rome’s 18, survived in good style.
3) Denouement from fiscal problems is rare historically. If reckless spending and deficits do contribute to a country’s woes, they aren’t enough to cause it to cease existing. Mexico and Germany are prosperous today after financial crises in the past; Rome split into two parts because its patricians failed to solve the problem of sharing power between themselves, not because its treasury was often bankrupt. Indeed, Julius Ceasar’s bid for absolute power and his assassination heralded this problem; abandoning republican government was a bad move, although its lack of US-style separation of powers may have doomed the Republic anyway. The USA’s founders learned from Rome’s history when writing our constitution.

Not only US, but Russia, China, North Korea and the rest of 'the strongest ones' are spying on each other like in old cold war. So, there's a big problem - why the world get back to such creepy scenario again? |

There are some huge differences between Geopolitical Empires and Economical Lobbies, like the modern US is.
The fall of all empires and by fall we mean the failure of their economical systems and their geopolitical tessellation,occurs from the weakness of their monetary system to reflect real world resources and attend their needs.
In simple words in order to sustain an empire, you need money and money are created by managing realworld resources with value (energy,mines,food production etc).
The US is has many but their economical system gains on non real-world resources.
-The monetary system of the country, after WWII, was forced upon other countries as an international exchange medium. The private company responsible for it production earns through every international transaction made under the symbol of the dollar.
-The capital managed by the US economical lobby, is a huge one(more than 500 trillion$), which was created during the Mercantilistic and the Capitalistic era, through Slave trade, Trade of slave products, Sea Piracy, Bank derivatives and economical bubbles, wars and many and other unfair practices.(the same is true for the capital of the European or the Russian-Chinese lobby).
-The application of technology (mass media,electronic surveillance, advance weapons etc) allows such lobbies to "crash" inside and outside threats.
In comparison, here is a historical example. Hitler used the destruction of the German Parliament as an excuse to justify an attack against communism (in and out of Germany) but it did not had the technology to be efficient and quick. The US government used the 9/11 attack far more efficiently. By taking away constitutional liberties and by the use of superior technology, it rendered any "inside" threat impossible to emerge or to be sustained without giving up any early signs. It justified a huge pile of money(50billions) to be spend on military and weapons against a vague war.Those were(are) taxpayers money...not part of the lobby's capital.Now the us lobby has in its disposal the biggest army in the world ...and it is free!They even made money from all those contracts and wars!
So three points are essential for economical empires to last.
1.The existing capital and the power to print money without real consequences.
2.A huge population for the production of realworld wealth/taxation and a huge army/police capable to deal with inside and outside threats.
3.High end technology to inform and protect the system from dangerous reactions throughout the globe.
Existing capital and Digital monetary inputs that are disconnected from realworld resources and high tech applications on weapons,wars and surveillance, guaranty a long lasting empire.
