Apparently Western leaders thought Western people would just sit back and let their replacement happen without a whimper.

Nothing.
So don’t start none, won’t be none. It’s that simple.

Wars? They had to fight wars and be ravaged by them. That's a far cry from any war we've had in decades. We are insulated from wars.
Chaos? No, chaos was the result of those other things and a lack of consistency from a very weak king.
Inflation? It's about 2.3%
Debt? Yep.

Professor of War in the Modern World, David Betz of King’s College London, has claimed that many European countries now exhibit signs of being in a pre-civil war state. According to his research, there is a statistically significant chance of a war breaking out in the next five years in a Western state, and given Europe’s interconnected nature, it could spark similar conflicts in neighbouring nations.
5 years will be too late for many of them.

Not insulated at all. We've been fighting and paying for wars for decades, and piling up the debt. We've also been piling up debt from our welfare state, bureaucratic bloat, waste, corruption. You don't have lose wars to pay the ultimate cost if they come one after another and are accompanied by multiple other grave financial errors.

The list I used was a sequence, with chaos being the end game. It's where we're headed because of debt. Government debt becomes a currency problem when it's unpayable and growing faster than the economy. US Federal debt alone has grown four fold faster than the economy since 1980, and speeding up. That's a currency problem and it's too big to avoid.
So yeah we're headed for chaos. If you prefer to blame what comes next on "a lack of consistency from a very weak king", doesn't change the outcome. It started a long time ago and there is zero support for hard medicine.

We are not insulated from a war on our homeland that is already here. We are insulated from a foreign military naval invasion.
We are absolutely not invincible and many have no idea how fragile everything is.
People are the most divided they have ever been in my life, I’m 38.
There was not a mass global color revolution that was 20 years into works like it is is modern society. This wasn’t going on in the 60’s during the civil rights movement.
50% of Americans don’t pay taxes and live off of government benefits.
60 years ago social media didn’t exist.
60 years ago propaganda did exist but it was so overwhelming 24 hrs a day and so far gone into total corruption as media is now.
We are 36 trillion in debt. That has consequences.
We are COMPLETELY reliant on our grid while simultaneously being the most venerable we have ever been by far in the history of our country.
China owns 1000x more farmland in America than it did 60 years ago.
All secondary education wasn’t captured by globalist marxist ideology 60 years ago.
We are taxed BY FAR more than Americans ever have been and for the first time ever their is confirmation on what we’ve always expected, but massive fraud and abuse funded off of the backs of only half the country.
There are many different problems and levers in play that didn’t exist during the 60’s

I could be mistaken because I only read the quoted excerpts, but he really seems to be talking about Europe. I don’t think the US is quite at that level…yet.

Lol... It doesn't take a "London academic " to make this call, me a few others around here have been saying the same.
Its really not hard to figure out if a person can overcome their own fear and bias. It will happen.
The true spirit that has made America great can't be overcome by Marxist politicians or their lies and propaganda. They will have to take it the same way it was earned, bullets and blood.
Thank you Jesus for the 2A.

I agree with this paragraph. I really liked the evocative writing in…

I think you diagnose the situation we are in very well…it’s just nothing like the situation that led to the French Revolution. That was a citizenry without the right to vote, with no rights, subject to the whims of the aristocracy and teetering on starvation. There are some similarities in the indebtedness and the coming inflation, but ot enough to use the French Revolution as any kind of guide to the current situation.
Although it’s a very imperfect example the German experience in the 1930s is a better example.

I hear this bullshite lament and in particular the Chinese owning farm land thing. Big fricking shite. We live here, the farm land is here.....China is 6000 miles away. If push comes to shove we take it.
