RT runs an "America will collapse" story just about every other week. Me thinks thou is obsessed with the Soviet Union's own collapse and is thus projecting it aboard. And oh, stop with the 9-11 conspiracy nonsense. There's no evidence of it.

In America, a lot of the people seem to be walking around with their heads shoved in a dark place. Many people truly believe that America (USA) is and was always meant to be the most powerful country on Earth. They believe this because since WW2 this has been true. You can't really blame them because it is all that they know, and to admit that we will be seeing an end to our reign of power is inconceivable to them. I on the other hand hold a personal belief that everything is temporary and there is no sure thing in this world. I have always seen the parallels of USA and Rome. Even though it appears that militarily we seem to do things out of the goodness of our hearts, which is untrue and has never been that way to me, we will be seeing drastic changes to how we carry ourselves and how we are seen around the world. I am hoping for this because I can't stand the arrogance of most people here. It is almost like we have been living in a bubble here, away from reality. That reality check is becoming apparent to more and more of the lower class citizens that have been consistantly screwed over by the wealthy and government in the USA.

The goal of this Cancer is to corrupt and eat up the whole world. Anything that stands in it's way, it will kill. The speeches of "change" will come and go, but murder will remain. How unfortunatly for the human race.

Bianca Do you recall the interview with a Georgian girl immediately after the August 2008 War on one of US top rating media channel? The host was virtually feeding words into her mouth and when this girl stated that it was Georgia who started the War, the host cut her off on the spot preventing her to communicate her statement to the wide audiences. In this case, at least the journalist talking to Johan Galtung gives him full opportunities to communicate to us without being cut off, and that is the difference between hoax US journalism and professional RT journalism.
