The most important decisions on the future of the US may not be taken in the US.

The first problem with this analysis is that the Anglosphere has lots of food. And lives on distant shores. The food riots start elsewhere–and the attacks would have to be necessarily blind. After all who do you attack when the grain barges don’t arrive. We’re not talking about Russia here. They’re keeping their remaining grain at home. And for good reason. They’re building gas pipelines across the north sea to Germany. This work turned up first rate wine recently from the seafloor from the 18th century. The Europeans and Japanese can afford to pay for food and fuel. We’re not talking about the Chinese either. They’re stocking up on US grain surpluses. Both countries are players.

We’re only in the first two years of the [failure]. You need a decade or more of this to have a revolution of falling expectations.

The US moves much faster.

But I understand your point. You’re saying “Hope springs eternal.”

The problem with Vincente Fox’s book “Revolution of Hope” was that it went over the heads of the Mexican people even more than it did the American people. The book was published only in English and ghost written by an American.

Even Obama’s book “Audacity of Hope” was written by a guy who is very far removed from the American black community. His roots are in the upper reaches of the democratic party.
