If things get really bad in europe people just go and vote fascist after which the newly installed leaders (who own the US military-industrial complex by design anyway) use their position to make sure the cradle of civilization over the last thousands of years remains to be their backyard.

And as long as the American public are willing to lose their sons and daughters in wars ment to destroy their own middle class and protect the interests of others this is how it will remain to be.
