    And if somehow this does go through, it can be added onto the pile of illegal actions as the law states that no living person may be placed on US currency.

    Empires generally only live 2-2.5 centuries…

    https://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdf

    This is the perfect, most-narcissistic, modern “stamping” of the finishing of an empire ( which will take years to take-down as much of the world as it can, with its death-spasms ) ever.

    Glubb apparently deemed it to be about 10 generations ( presuming 25y/generation? ) I think … each decade or so is more a distinct-generation, so therefore it’d be about 21-25 distinct generations per empire, then?

    Whatever: once the identity of the ruling-class is completely-divorced from the actual-population’s substance, then it’s finished.

    ( also, whomever it was who did the profile-face artwork on that image, above, it’s good skilful work, but it’s dishonest: it doesn’t represent the spirit of the real guy )
