What Ended The Roman Empire? Here’s a hint:

 

You ever wonder how the Roman Empire fell? It was the most powerful nation on the face of the Earth for centuries, but yet it ultimately fell into ruin. There were two main causes. Firstly everyday Romans had become adverse to taking care of the daily tasks of life, like cleaning their homes and taking care of their property, so they started importing immigrants to do this for them. You know to do the jobs that Romans didn’t want to do. Secondly, they also became weary of actually defending themselves, so they got into the habit of filling their military with foreigners. Until one day, those foreigners realize they were the ones who were actually in charge.

Tucker Carlson recently took a look at how closely what’s happening in the United States is what happened in Roman about 476 AD.  We are including a synopsis of how the conversation went if you want to listen to the complete discussion; watch the video from Tucker Carlson on X at the end of this post. 

Tucker Carlson's discussion with Colonel Douglas MacGregor touches on several significant points regarding immigration, military recruitment, and the potential consequences of certain legislative proposals. Let's break down some key aspects of their conversation:

1. Historical Analogies: Carlson starts by drawing a parallel between the fall of Rome and the potential consequences of allowing non-citizens, particularly those who have entered the country illegally, to join the military. MacGregor extends this analogy, highlighting the risks of employing mercenaries and the historical example of the Goths eventually turning against the Roman Empire after being incorporated into its military forces.

   
   

2. Military Recruitment Challenges: Both Carlson and MacGregor discuss the challenges the U.S. military faces in meeting recruitment goals. MacGregor attributes this in part to disillusionment among potential recruits who question the purpose of military interventions abroad and the perceived lack of focus on defending America itself.

   
   

3. Concerns About Foreign Involvement in Domestic Affairs: There's apprehension about the increasing involvement of the Department of Defense in domestic issues, such as the events on January 6th and censorship efforts. Carlson expresses concern about arming individuals who have broken federal laws, highlighting potential risks to domestic security.

   
   

4. Political Motivations: MacGregor suggests that certain politicians, like Rep. Pat Ryan, may have ulterior motives in supporting policies like offering expedited citizenship to migrants who serve in the military. He argues that some in Washington aim to "denationalize" the country, creating a population without strong ties to American culture or identity.

   
   

5. Influence of Special Interests: Both speakers raise concerns about the influence of special interests and donors on political decision-making. They suggest that policies may be driven more by the interests of lobbyists and donors than by the desires of the American people.

Overall, the conversation highlights deep concerns about the potential consequences of policies that blur the lines between citizenship, military service, and immigration, as well as the broader challenges facing the country's institutions and political system.
