Is America Falling Like the Roman Empire?

This article points out the parallels between America of today and Rome before it collapsed:

The historical link is that the USA is starting to find itself in a similar position to the ailing Roman Empire of ancient times. I will mention a number of factors that coincide: slow decline of the American economy as the primal economy (increased economic multi-polarity), high and increasing debt per capita, currency devaluation, addiction to foreign resources and consumer goods. There are also many political similarities: poor leadership on key issues, an over stretched military, new types of enemies, migrant problems, internal political division and polarized religious factions vying for power. In fact, both Rome and the United States attempted to “liberate” Mesopotamia and secure it from Iranian (then Parthian) influence: it was short lived and costly.

I don't think its too late to turn it around. But the next two years under this psycho in the White House could do us in.
