The storming of Congress is just the beginning: the US press spoke about the possible collapse of the state

23

What happened on January 6, 2021 on Capitol Hill may be a harbinger of darker events, because similar situations have already been observed in the history of mankind, writes the American edition of The National Interest.

In ancient Rome, at the time of the declining republic, there were several warring factions. Then they killed each other in the streets and there was a bloody civil war. Mark Tullius Cicero described in detail what was happening, and knowledge of those horrors has survived to this day.



Then something similar happened in Germany in the twentieth century during the Weimar Republic, when the Germans suffered defeat and humiliation after the First World War. It all ended with Hitler's rise to power and the "night of long knives." Then political violence gave rise to cruelty unimaginable in its monstrosity.

The entire second half of 2020 is clear evidence that the collapse of existing norms has occurred in the United States. For decades, people communicated normally with each other, despite political differences. But this came to an end.

The assault on the US Congress building was the logical conclusion of an intermediate stage of political degradation. We can say that we have passed the point of no return, a kind of Rubicon, and have witnessed the possible beginning of the process of the collapse of the American state.

The US now has two choices: either what happened on Capitol Hill will be the last dramatic episode and manifestation of hatred, or the country will repeat the path of the Weimar Republic and violence will become the norm.

Four people were killed, one of them a woman who was shot at point-blank range by a policeman. One of the police officers was also seriously injured and died in hospital. Democrats were quick to accuse Republican President Donald Trump of "inciting," but he condemned the riots and pledged to hand over power on January 20, 2021, when Joe Biden is to be inaugurated.

      The assault on the US Congress building was the logical conclusion of an intermediate stage of political degradation.

      The assault on the Congress building, as it turned out, was simply brilliantly organized and carried out by the Democrats. It all happened exactly to a second in time, before the Congressional hearing on electoral irregularities. There was a lot of evidence of violations, there were many doubters, and there was little chance of the elections being canceled. And then bam, crowds of protesters burst into the capitol, several broken windows and that's it .... All at once took the side of the democrats, everyone forgot about the election fraud, here it is more malicious, desecrated the "temple of democracy." And immediately the Democrats have a majority in parliament. Reminds nothing ??? This is how the Nazis, led by Hitler, set fire to the Reistag and came to power. I won't be surprised that Trump will be dragged through the courts.

        It is too simplistic to look at the dollar exchange rate. When a ship begins to sink, its nose can also rise sharply above the water level.
        If they start to sell sharply the shares of American companies, then investors will go from the shares to the cash. Accordingly, the demand for "money" will grow. American shares will be sold for dollars, the dollar will rise against other currencies.

        I do not want to drown in any way for or against the collapse of America.
        I just wanted to draw attention to the overly simplistic approach to assessment.

      Extremes have become very popular with us. Then after covid the world will not be the same. Now, after the Congress, the world will not be the same. And although there is such a possibility and I would not rule it out, I think that everything will return to normal. Right now, Trump will be removed through a fictitious impeachment, and then they will start dragging him around the courts. As a politician, this field can be written off for scrap. Democrats will begin to rule the world (I made no reservation). The international situation will become much more complicated. And all this will continue until the final dumping of the United States into a tailspin. It is economic, and only later in the political. But it will not be today or even tomorrow, but most likely the day after tomorrow.

        You have to pay for everything. Are you ready to pay for this with your well-being? Collapse of the USA = collapse of the world economy. And the collapse of the Russian economy, as part of the world. Are you ready to relive the new 90s for a dream? And someone will not carry out Provide Hope.

          Collapse of the USA = collapse of the world economy.

          This is not entirely true.
          The collapse of the United States = the collapse of the financial pyramid of banking, due to which the United States has existed for many years.
          Real production will quickly find a replacement for pseudo-assets that have nothing to do with real money. feel

            How fast is it? From the experience of previous crises, 15 years at best. The Great Depression was a financial crisis in the United States but affected manufacturing worldwide. One of the consequences of this crisis was World War II. And this is just a crisis, and if it is an instant collapse, a complete destruction of the US economy (the main market in the world), it will be an epic trend that has no analogues in history. The main consumer of Chinese and European goods is the United States, if they stop buying these goods, production in these countries will collapse. If production collapses there, oil and gas consumption will collapse. What do you think will be the consequences for the RF. The US dollar is the main reserve currency of the world, its collapse cannot pass without leaving a trace for the world.

              It seems to me that you yourself answered your own question.
              We are not dependent on the purchase of our goods by the states (unlike the PRC and the EU).
              We do not sell oil to the states, the EU will definitely choose where it is cheaper and it will be our gas and oil.
              The main reserve currency of the world is gold (which the architects of the current global financial pyramid do not like to recall). And we are building up its reserves, like all smart countries, including the United States.

              Nothing goes unnoticed for the world, I agree.
              However, with the above initial conditions, we still get the least, in contrast to the "largest economies in the world." feel

                See, this is a simple logical chain. The US stops buying goods from the EU and the PRC. Accordingly, in these countries, enterprises cease to produce products (and not only for export, the multiplier effect). Accordingly, enterprises stop buying components (for example, Russian metal) and energy (for example, Russian gas). Accordingly, the price of these resources falls, as does the volume of purchases. Accordingly, the economies of countries not directly related to the US economy suffer.
                The effect of the turbulences of the US financial banking pyramid on the Russian economy was demonstrated by the 2008 mortgage crisis. The fall of the US GDP is 4%, the Russian Federation is almost 8% (moreover, in rubles). Countries that specialize in the export of resources suffer the most. Nothing portends that the future will be different.

                Not certainly in that way. For a number of countries of the "first" world, your statement is correct (USA, France, Germany). For the rest, this is not the case, for the Russian Federation the share of gold in the gold reserves is 19%, for China 2,5%, Japan 2,4%, India 6,1%. The rest is currency, mostly dollar. China is generally the main holder of the US national debt.

                  A simple logical chain allows me to argue that the classic pyramid called "dollar" is coming to a logical conclusion.
                  How it will be arranged is not important, it is important that Russia at least stopped investing in it.
                  Yes, it will hurt everyone, only we are somewhere far away in the fourth list of "victims".
                  Unless, of course, you personally are not strongly tied to the banking business.

                  The GDP of the same USA is 80% of the service sector.
                  Consumption is by far the largest component of US GDP and has the greatest impact on it.
