Retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson joins the MintCast director Mnar Adley to discuss the decline and possible fall of the U.S. empire. “It is clear to at least half the world, some four billion people, that the United States is not the power that it once was… Our reputation is in tatters in the world,” he said, laying out parallels between the fall of the Western Roman and Persian empires and today’s United States.

The U.S. military is a shadow of its former self and could not beat either Russia or China in a sustained war, Wilkerson says. If a war did break out, then it would likely escalate to nuclear Armageddon quickly.

Wilkerson and MintPress News’ Mnar Adley also discuss the big geopolitical hot topics of the day, including Iran, Israel and Gaza. The Israel lobby, Wilkerson claims, constitutes a national security threat. “Israel is the greatest and most dangerous foreign agent operating on US soil. There’s no question about that,” he said.
