The fall of Rome is still a mystery. What is written in history books is obvious bullshit. The only way to understand the truth is using logic applied to historical bits. I think the jews managed to destroy it like they tried with Egypt. The difference is that Egypt was able to react very fast and neutralize the jews, while Rome was too much confident in it's military. I see parallels between Rome and Russia. Both countries had powerful military and both were destroyed from inside.

My pleasure, I think this book should be required reading in schools as part of a general educational foundation.

My plebeian knowledge of it is summed up in this:
The continual expansion and civil wars kept killing off a lot of native romans, and integrated subjects. That didn't help.
But the real killer was the big 3 of:
* Inflation
* Mass immigration of outsiders (that largely didn't integrate)
* Huge state welfare spending (due to loss of jobs for romans to slaves)
Now whose tactics does that sound like?

It makes sense as collateral cause, but the main reason is always a conspiracy from inside to overthrow the aborigine's government.

not only is what in the history books not bullshit its literally happening again in the US only this time the foederati are the DACAs/Dreamers being used by a bunch of jews (theres your parallel right there anyway) and the barbarians are pretty much everyone else from outside trying to fuck you up.
It got too big for itself to handle. to even hold its borders it needed more people than it had, so the population needs to get diluted by more and more people who you either forcibly intergrate or allow them to continue as your own 'citizens' but with their own culture. one causes left wingers to ree the other one ultimately leads to the destruction of your sovereign nation, just like it did with rome.
the split between east and west was down to latins vs greeks being the true inheritors of the church and which church was the number one, still continues to this day (Patriarch of Constantinople Vs Pope) the latin west had other issues to deal with the greek east didnt, the east survived for a while as its own entity while the west eventually went through all its shit before it became frankish, then east west frankish, then french and germans.

I don't think there is a parallel with US, since it's already owned by jews. The jews don't need to make US fall. They only need to destroy the conservative middle class.
