As they say Talk Is Cheap. 

The U.S. has a $13 trillion GDP economy (depending who's counting), a $1 trillion per year military, a funding for its State and Security Complex bigger than some country GDP. A population of about 330 million. A country the size of continent with resources associated. 

Yet this most self-righteous power-hungry empire finds itself in a steeply declining state, a parallel to the 1930's Great Depression. Structural $20 trillion national debt, structural $1 trillion annual deficit impossible to repair. It's global reputation shot to pieces (by itself), laugh and joke at. Even the Europeans walking away. Japan's next. Leadership gone. 

Hell, when Trump/Pentagon ordered 3 fully equipped carrier battle groups to Korea to confront NK, its dictator/leader is not only *not* worried, he invited the groups to come closer so that he can show the world how to sink a carrier. A $200B naval armada cannot scare a little country. 

Into this Freeman want to take over?
