Transcript

A threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

i think the first poster misunderstood a quote and I can' reproduce it anymore either. it was something about no empire lasted more then 250 years? or no government form or something among these lines? it was not about the contry disapearing in name or anything, but that it damatically changes in one way or another like completly changing the form of government
