Yours is not the path of force, though force is often needed to clear the path.

Our ability to adapt is our greatest strength and our greatest weakness.

 

 

We can adapt to changes, and challenges, but we can also become comfortable with it.

 

 

We could easily adapt to tyranny, as we had, not so easily, adapted to a Constitutional Democracy.  The people want change, but the people are not sure of what kind-of change, since we are still in

  • Iraq
  • Bailing-out Insurers, Bankers, Auto (others, politically connected, such as arrow-head manufacturers)
  • Patriot Act Phase

You can't fix the problems of every single other nations collapsing/dead economy people. You can't, and some of them wouldn't let you. This is a global recession, and soon to be a global depression.

This could end with WW3.

Take a look at the list of nations that are, have been, are about to be in riot+^ status

From soot and ashes, which gets his information from international news such as BBC:
------------------------
WorldPANIC: Housing Ponzi Scheme Bust Riot Update and Heat Index.

"The world is not going back to normal after the magnitude of what they have done."


- BulgariaPANIC - Riots but oddly quiet now: 2.0
- LithuaniaPANIC - Riots but oddly quiet now: 2.0
- LatviaPANIC - GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES, debt downgraded to junk: 3.0
- EstoniaPANIC - Pressure building: 2.0
- UkrainePANIC - Protests, IMF bailout: 3.0
- IrelandPANIC - 100,000 protest, bank takeover, default possible, no violence: 3.0
- IcelandPANIC - GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES 1/25: 3.0
- RomaniaPANIC - Tension: 2.0
- SpainPANIC - Credit rating cut, unemployment soaring, default rumors: 2.0
- FrancePANIC - Way due for a riot. Black Thursday protests and riots take hundreds of thousands to the streets: 3.0
- GreecePANIC - Riots, farmers join protests: 3.0
- HungaryPANIC - About to blow: 3.0
- BelarusPANIC - Tension with censorship: 2.0
- UKPANIC: Banks fail, currency collapses, wildcat strikes spread across nation, UK on the verge of bankruptcy, McDonalds still open. Massive street protests and riots coming in April: 3.0
- SouthKoreaPANIC - Violent protests demanding government resign, killing protesters: 3.0
- DubaiPANIC - Unease, soaring unemployment, crashing real estate: 3.0
- MexicoPANIC - Murders, remittances drop first time EVER, jobless illegals coming home to no jobs: 3.0
- PakistanPANIC - Riots starting: 3.0
- VenezuelaPANIC - Protests: 2.0
- RussiaPANIC - Protests building but will be violently suppressed, another reporter murdered, Ruble keeps crashing, Putin has private ABBA tribute concert: 2.0
- ChinaPANIC - Jobs protests, 20 million migrant workers have lost their jobs, Wen blames US and not himself as he clings to power: 2.0
- IranPANIC - elections upcoming, growing unemployment, oil revenues dry, nuke within a year, 2.0
- MiamiPANIC - Idol on, McDonalds still open: 0.0
- CaliforniaPANIC - Idol on, McDonalds still open: 0.0
- BahrainPANIC - Riots break out, 10,000 Shiites rage against ruling Sunni elite: 3.0
- MadagascarPANIC - Riots, 25 protesters shot to death, government on verge of falling - 3.0

----------------------
 

Worried yet? And many of these nations blame the US for the problems they are facing. None of them are right, and have many things to hide hence the strawman. However this fosters resentment towards the US.

This is imo the most likely scenario:

There will be growing unrest, NWO proclaimed, however the antichrist will rise and WW3 will start, resulting mass PVP will cause world server crash and we will all wake from the matrix, sudden lack of energy for the machines will result in fight over remaining hamster emergency generators and cause the global laser defense shield to go offline and asteroid will hit earth, causing reversal of the poles and waking up dragons hybernating deep under the surface, who will blame it on use this as an exuse to finally wage war on Martians, who will then try to alter history and send a craft back in time to 1947, which will however crash and with it all hope.

Subscribtions: WOW, EVE, WAR, DDO, VG, AOC, COV, FFXI, GW, RFO
+plenty of F2P, betas, trials

On my radar: Earthrise, DF, Mortal Online, JG: Evolution
Female Dwarf player: WOW, VG, WAR, DDO
.
Due to the recent economic crisis and spending cuts the light at the end of the tunnel was turned off. Sincerely, God.

Professionals have stated that this is the most likely of the possible scenarios
