I don't know how long FOX could live if it continues to rely on old white people to stay relevant.
It's not just 'rely on old white people to stay relevant', they're a propaganda machine pure and simple and any locale
without a viable alternative station (in great swathes of GOP country, the only radio and TV stations
are FOX News affiliated at
best) is in a practically impenetrable media bubble where the delusions are reinforced.
With Russia messing around and a potential scenario that the Millennial and Z generations are becoming quite anti-Russia, a second Cold War would not surprise me. Might be interesting to see how a growing anti-Russian attitude would affect American politics. Perhaps we might see it as early as the 2018 midterm.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised that Millennial and Z generations start copying Rome and say 'Russia Delena Est' at the end of each congressional session before -eventually-
doing that exact thing and annihilating Russia's crumbling military before deciding it's final fate.
... which is probably either going to be a
Morgenthau Plan (i.e. take/destroy every piece of industry that can feed into a military machine) but
even harsher with population decentralization, Russia being carved up into micro-states, and probably have nuclear failsafes (maybe satellites waiting in orbit to throw enough nukes to annihilate every Russian city with atomic fire or
worse) to annihilate anyone who gets the
brilliant idea to unite and become a power again... or simply turning that generation of Russians into the
last generation by forced sterilization.
Remember, the US historically doesn't
react well to any -in it's eyes- significant slight. It has this tendency to become rather enraged and tries to annihilate whatever did that slight...
I don't think a real foreign war or a second American Civil War will happen though.
Here's the thing, the US IC, DoJ, and military probably have this
exact scenario on file somewhere and they've dug out the folder with the plans... and they're probably turning
white at the very
idea that they have to implement it.
