| #3 Remember the good old days in 406 AD when the Legions hadn't been paid in a while, and the Limes forts on the Rhine were falling to pieces? And that year the Quadi and the Marcomanni were massed in the hundreds of thousands beyond the Rhine and that year was the coldest in 40 years and the entire Rhine River froze and the tribes came across in wagons with their families ? A 70,000 man Barbarian Army swept the last Legion aside outside Mainz where it died in the snow in half a morning and the wagons and the army swept south taking Cologne and then the Huns decided to head for Chalons and Aetius had to call on Theodoric and Torismund and the Alans and the Burgun to hold the line at Petit Mons? The last of the Legions in Reserve. How did that all end? Half a million dead in a couple of days ? and then the Vandals under Gaeseric headed south for Rome and Spain. And the next Roman General was a transgender dwarf sent in to hold Ravenna. His name was Nepos, i seem to remember. Where we get the word Nepotism. Or an approximation thereof. Anyway being naked and covered with hair was the fashion for the next few centuries/ Oh, and stacking mud was popular too/ |

| #2 He's just greatly accelerated the process. Too much of the world has relied upon the 'evil' US to supply military welfare to provide stabilization where history has always been chaotic. At some point, the magic money tree dies and the legions return to Rome. Ironic that Central Europe has enjoy the longest period of peace since Rome. What too many wished, "The End of History", was simply a rare pause in the natural aspects of the human record. |

| #1 And given that there are only eight months left to take advantage of this global void, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and Islamic terrorists are beginning to believe that the U.S. will not do anything to stop their aggressions once they change global realities by force. The fear we have all had here for quite some time. |
