That reminded me of the collapse of the soviet union when in Moscow the TV began to play Swan Lake in a continuous loop for three days, and when it stopped the government went AWOL and was gone. "My Perestroika" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1557720/
The Afghan episode really scared me; the US government went AWOL. I've never seen that happen before.
A lot of people like to compare the current situation to the fall of the Roman Republic, but I feel like this is the end of the Empire. The question now, is whether we will be consumed like the Western Empire or fracture and continue to bear the torch as the Eastern Empire.
I'd say this whole presidency.. I'm worried ngl, from Biden having handlers and saying he'll get in trouble if he answers questions, to them going AWOL right when a president needs to take action.. It's like there's no one actually running things and the federal government is the equivalent of a headless chicken, and simultaneously there's a secret cabal of politicians and bureaucrats """"running""" everything from behind the scenes.
I don't know which should worry me more. Both have awful implications and clearly have awful results regardless of whether it's one, the other, or both of those.
And to think we aren't even through the first year.
