civilizations do not progress in cycles. they evolve to peak and death. it is on US to create and maintain monolothic world order. after destruction of islamic resistance, we will ahve a monolithic world order. after that, the world will descend into anarchy and chaos. US has the mantle on their heads, but now they are leading by power and brute force, rather than the typical american creativity. it happenned to rome, to hindus, to islam and all dead civilizations. survival of the world depends on the USA.
