We will be a group of countries located in the same area.
With a common language.

I don't have a problem with it.

But we will no longer be a superpower or a prestigious, respected country.
It is the death of the United States.
Which is what Putin wants.

This is obviously what the GOP wants.
So it may be where we end up.
