STRATEGY FOR A CIVILIZATION IN DECLINE

The goal for a civilization in decline should be to stay out of military conflicts, not engage in them to try to be great again.

 

This is just a short list of the most important foreign initiatives we should avoid fighting over:

 

Say Russia wants to go into the Baltic, the Ukraine, and the Middle East?

 

Say China wants to take over the South China Sea and everything else out there, in Africa, and elsewhere?

 

Say the Muslims want to eject all Westerners from the Middle East and select oil prices at random?

 

Say India wants to eject Westerners?

 

Say Israel want to expand even more?

 

Say the Muslims attack and try to destroy Israel?

 

This is the world that the West, and especially the US, has created.

 

It was not created by the foreigners. It was created over a long period of time by you. It's your world. You bought it.

In 1800, even as late as 1850, these countries and civilizations, except for Russia, were flat on their ass, and considered no threat to the great powers whatsoever.

Now, they are strong, tech savvy, angry, and at your throat. It is your fault.  

 

Don't fight it now to try to be great again. It's way too late. If you do, you will decline even further even faster in relation to those who avoid war.

Don't try to initiate a trade war. You already lost it. iI will only trigger a military war. They want the trade and industrial advantages you gave them; they consider that their vital interest; they don't want it turned off until you are buried.

Strauss and Howe generational cyclicality: you can forget about it, going forward. Not only do you not have the basis for a great generation; you don't even have the hope of a decent one.

Bannon's interest in it, from his Breitbart ideological perspective, should queer if for most of you.
