          If only! We won’t be that lucky. They will just revert to feudalism, with absolute AI surveillance and thought control. Orwell was right, he knew. I mean we all knew. We just sat like frogs in the water slowly getting boiled.

            Orwell was either clairvoyant and had Divine visions of the future or he was a time traveler. I’m convinced.

              He was intimately familiar with the Soviet modus operandi. What he talked about was a reality in Eastern Europe for many decades. My own family way back when told me that every apartment had a speaker installed in the living room which would spout propaganda- you could turn the volume off but you could never turn the radio off.

              I’ve said for a long time that the USA has been going more and more towards a Stalinist society, and I stand by that claim.

      I know I won’t, but I do hope to see him suffer mightily before he kicks the bucket far too late. I suppose you could argue that’s what he’s already doing.

        He’ll pull a Kissinger and the pure hate and evil inside his rotten corpse of a heart will keep him alive for another 10 miserable years.

    The Gringos are going have their hands full if they piss off Central and South America. Not to mention, the US economy will fucking choke because Mexico is the USA’s largest trading partner.

    Let me translate for him: “I’m going to annex several middle/south American countries, after which I’m going to invade Canada and Greenland.”

      What do you think would happen with the millions of Mexicans living in the US? I mean, how much would they accept until the bough breaks?

      Not to mention that many of the Mexican drug cartels have ex Mexican military, trained by the US. This is not going to be the same as the quick’n easy roll-em-in invasion they had in Iraq.
