Ex-Spy Warns America Faces Full Generation of Confusion and Potential Decline
Everyday Spy
America Isn't Ready for What's About to Happen in November
"I would love to have an optimistic idea of the future of the United States. I just don't have it. I think the United States is going to go through a full generation of confusion and disarray, and it will— a solution will either present itself that I can't imagine right now, or no solution will present itself, and we will, we will decline as our competitors continue to grow."
Bustamante offers a stark long-term forecast for America, predicting a full generation of national confusion and possible decline relative to global competitors. He argues Americans have become too complacent and ideologically entrenched to make necessary changes, leaving any reform to younger progressive generations who lack real-world experience, perpetuating the left-right conflict cycle.
