I dunno that guy but I think Mao and Deng both said similar things. Fuckin hated the corn man.

I get that collapse is a slow ongoing process but when the history books are written, what do you think will be considered the US' own Battle of Ravenna? What will occur that historians can point to it and say, "this was the effective end of the American empire." ?
