Someone  came up with description of present day US society as "post rational". In this society the facts are freely manipulated. Do you think such a society could become a rogue nation threatening the world?
If so under which circumstances?
Have fun.

In actuality the USA has been a "rogue" nation since its inception!

And I see no reason to change!

Freedom is not just another word!

If we happen to be the last mostly free nation upon this planet, and if we are destroyed then it will be the planet's loss!

I hope that we will fight for it until the end! Whenever that might be?

The rest of the world, can in the words of that great on TV cook, just go and "f-ck off!" laugh!

Oh! you could have at least spelled the title correctly? It is surprisingly spelled "United!"

regards,

This is interesting quote from wiki:

As the U.S. government remains the most active proponent of the "rogue state" expression, the term has received much criticism from those who disagree with U.S. foreign policy. Critics charge that "rogue state" merely means any state that is generally hostile to the U.S., or even one that opposes the U.S. without necessarily posing a wider threat.[7][8] Some others, such as author William Blum, have written that the term is also applicable to the U.S. and Israel. Both the concepts of rogue states and the "Axis of Evil" have been criticized by certain scholars, including philosopher Jacques Derrida and linguist Noam Chomsky, who considered it more or less a justification of imperialism and a useful word for propaganda.

The United States is already a rogue state, it is one of the few nations which constantly breaks international laws....laws which the United States itself proposed and backed...
