America Is Now A Late-Stage Republic

All great empires eventually fall, and America is unfortunately no different. The problem is that people on the outside care about tearing down the country more than those on the inside want to keep it up. Once the world saw the abysmal failure that was Afghanistan almost two years ago, it gave the signal to countries like Russia and China that we weren't really top dog anymore. Now, they feel comfortable invading other countries and flying spy balloons over our nation without any fear of the consequences.
