    America to collapse in 20 years.

    Sounds crazy aint it ? If you asked me 7 years ago I would have sworn Microsoft was going to own the world practically..


    One of the statements in this documentary is: America to collapse in 20 years if they don't pull out of Afghanistan immediately. Why would that bring doom to the empire ?

    My guess would be the rapidly increasing aging population. By 2030, there will be around 70 million pensioners draining the Social Security and Medicare system. I'm not sure the US can afford to support them as well as continue with the policy of nation building.
    The close proximity of the letters 'G' and 'T' are the reason I'll never again send an important email and end it with "Regards" ....

      America will collapse whatever they do in Afghanistan. The new world superpower will be China.

        Not that I disagree with the conclusion, but do you expect anything else from the BBC?
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
