“If the Tsar and the Nazis couldn’t defeat us, and we caught up with our missiles even though we were devastated by the Wehrmacht, and we bluffed JFK during the Cold War, I have a problem believing some medieval Afghan ragheads and a brainless twit like Ronald Reagan will do us in.” — some Bolshevik.
Dr Chaos, Since you seem to like Catastrophe theories, I can tell what my probable Catastrophe would be:
1. “raghead” problem you alluded above. It has costed US upwards of a Trillion $ and a wasted decade fighting the islamic terrorism induced wars.
2. The real iceberg that may sink the Titanic is the coming retirement of baby boomers during 2010s – 2020s. As they start drawing down on savings, investments, social security & medicare and stop paying taxes, government budgets and overall economy will get hit by a slow moving tsunami.
I think 1 & 2 are going to impact us more than China or Mexico (illegal immigration)
