DAY 7

           The United States is declining in ways that are similar to the fall of the Roman Empire, but also in a few ways that are different. As a country, we have so much power and our political leaders don't really know how to control it all. The United States is one of the largest and most powerful countries in the world and if we don't know how to control it, we lose everything and become easy to attack. Along with this, Trump is destroying connections that we have with some countries that could've benefitted us or simply left our communications neutral. The United States and Russia were never perfect together but, we got along well enough that they would leave us alone. Now that Trump is in office, Russia hates us. Russia is also a very large and powerful country and if they get it together, they could attack and destroy us. While the United States remains stable economically, poor choices from our leaders could lead to the United States decline. This country isn't declining as rapidly as the Roman Empire did, but anything can happen.
