How much longer do you think the American empire will last?
Five years consecutively is the longest we've gone without war, in our entire existence.

What are you talking about?
@HoraceGreenley How do you mean? All empires in history have fallen in time.

@RandomForest True but the 5 year thing
@HoraceGreenley The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.

@RandomForest That requires a very loose definition of the word "war"
@HoraceGreenley Not as loose as you'd hope. I mean we can call Vietnam a police action but..can we really?

@RandomForest No but some skirmish somewhere doesn't constitute a war
