The U.S. Empire

IS THE US THE NEW ROMAN EMPIRE

As I read about the Roman Empire and how powerful it was at the time, I cannot help to think if the United States is that powerful big behemoth that is destined to fall. It has been talked about by many before and it is a scary thought. The United States is not conquering lands and taking over their political and economical systems - or are they. 

The new ware is a proxy war and the United States is very good at it. There are so many money motivated global political moves that is being done by the United States. It might not look like it but we have a lot of power and influence across the globe. At what point does the rest of the world say enough is enough. At what point does the rest of the world say that the United States is too big and too powerful. The citizens in general feel this is the land of the free, the Jedi Warriors, the good guys and we are spreading freedom across the globe, but are we? I do believe that there is good intent with the majority of the U.S. population but I also believe that greed and money also control the political machine in the U.S. 

We have destroyed entire countries, wiped them off the face of this earth, only skeletons of their buildings left. This is the wrath of the mighty U.S. military. The largest military in the world - the Roman Empire. If you did not become part of the Roman Empire you were wiped out, very similar.

The uplifting outlook is that the U.S. allows the freedoms that other nations do not have. The freedom of religion is a big one, the freedom of speech, and so on and so on. Are we being managed? Well if you think you have a private life right now, you are only fooling yourself. The technology that we have developed has ensured that we do not have our privacy and to that I say "who cares". If you are not doing anything wrong that whats the problem. Isn't our life a big movie anyway?

I just hope that we do not end up like the Roman Empire and that we are end up being the Jedi Warriors, spreading good across the globe. I am very fortunate to be born her and living here with such freedoms. We do not allow slavery like the Roman Empire - or do we? When we have workers making poverty wages, isn't that slavery. Again, very similar to the Roman Empire. When we have an administration like the one we have today, I become very afraid of the possibility that our empire might just fall.
