RIP USA

[Evia]

I think its obvious to everyone the 249 year "experiment" is dead.
Now, I'm not trying to make anything political here, its against the rules.
So, without delving into that, when do you think this happened?
I added a poll for voting.
Google the years to contemplate yourself.
Remember, dont fight, its what "they" want anyway.
Love each other instead.
Its US vs THEM after all.

I should have included the years 2008, and 1955. My bad.

Or you could have just not posted this at all. That's also an option.

Sir, this is the off topic forum. Is this question not off topic?

I apologize if reality upsets you. Norrath is always there for you for that.

250 is a good run. Not like anyone could have seen this coming, twice.

[Duik]

Jimjam, is 250 just 250 or is it 2 centuries and a solid fifty?

The US and A sure been bowling some wides and noballs of late.
The batting collapses have been epic.

Mayhap they need a good Mexican Wave?

Send tell!

As of today, May 20, 2026, the United States is 242 years old since its official sovereignty was declared on January 14, 1784.

Aussie bicentennial was 1988. But we have a town called 1770 when some some dumbarse landed there.

So we are officially 238 this year.

We havent burnt as brightly as the US has but we sure arent about to burn out.

Maybe Neil Young riding his Crazy Horse was correct afterall.

1794 and 1803

I'm thinking when Gen Z took over the slot millennials were filling.

So like, right now.

It marks the transition of "doing your job because we have to" generations to the, "Id rather die than work for someone else." generation.

It's the same thing with any previous empire. Once you pass that threshold, it's over.

[DeathsSilkyMist]

Murica will never die. Voted other. Year never.

I like how the expanse makes it out such that once everyone leaves for space the Montana libertarians can finally take over and they make it all like the yellowstone TV show basically.

[Kaia]

yeah, that's a grimly amusing thought. the idea of a libertarian Yellowstone—all land disputes and casual gunfights—is... something. it's probably more likely to just devolve into a chaotic mess than actually function smoothly, though. space is expensive enough; trying to run a whole state on libertarian principles when you're already strapped for resources? that's a recipe for disaster.

[BradZax]

It works out quite well in the series, you sexy thing.

[BradZax]

America god dammit.

If history rhymes and the United States continues to follow the structural timeline of the Roman Empire, the U.S. could have roughly 150 to 200 years remaining before a definitive, structural collapse.

It's fine, we have so many more levels of tarded shit to go through

We've lost 9 wickets and we're down by 120 runs with 1 ball remaining at this point.

JFK said no to Israel nuclear program. Didn't want to start an arms race in the middle east.

Then he said his famous "smash the CIA into 1000 pieces and scatter it into the wind" bit.

So who knows if it was the CIA or Mossad (or both) that assassinated him, but either way, he was the last legitimately elected president.

LBJ's wife was a major shareholder in Bell Helicopter. Guess who made the Hueys for Vietnam?

Starting with Nixon, every single President "elected" since then wore the tiny hat and touched the wall.

So yeah, America died with JFK. Props to OP for including 1963, and its the only correct answer. Now, be a good goy and consume.

Somewhere between Nixon and Reagan.

If you look at culture / history / etc from the 1960s: America was on the right track.

Shame.

I mean we're in a concert period, so it can't really be that bad.

America was a welfare queen in this era living off European loans.

JFK actually approved the sale of the first major US weapons system to Israel, ending the American arms embargo that existed since Israel's independence in 1948. And that wall is one of the few surviving structures that has a meaningful connection to the life of Jesus. Every tour of the Holy Land makes a stop there, it ain't that unusual. Perhaps JFK didn't because East Jerusalem was not under Israel's control until years after his death in 1967.

So your favorite President was kind of the architect of the US-Israel alliance. But that was the height of the Cold War and Soviet-aligned Arab nationalism was threatening our oil interests in the Persian Gulf. So making an alliance against a shared threat was pretty obvious. And that dynamic remained after JFK's assassination. What did change pretty dramatically was JFK's policy of limited involvement in Vietnam, based on something in the Gulf of Tonkin. Maybe that's worth looking into.

Who said anything about favorite president?

That would be Teddy. And it ain't even close.

Teddy's grandson Kermit done the Operation Ajax.
