    Decline of the U.S. Empire With Mike Byrne

    All empires decline, but the U.S. empire is living up to all of its predictions. The National Intelligence Council published a report titled, "Global Trends 2030" predicting that by 2030 the U.S. would no longer be a superpower. By then, our world will be a multi-polar world and the U.S. empire will continue to decline. Alfred McCoy's book, "In the Shadows of the American Century" outlines the U.S. empire's rise and fall with a detailed history relating it to all other empires. As empires rise and fall, we can find similar patterns. The U.S. empire as been on par with these trends. I speak with Mike Bryne about the decline of the American Empire, predictions of this decline, and we discuss McCoy's latest book to give an analysis of what the U.S. will experience in this decline. Mike is an antiwar activist based in Washington D.C. His writings focus on Anti-Imperialism, Anti-White Supremacy, and Anti-Zionism.
