Re: <nettime> [spectre] the EU's first rogue state

The imperial power transition was never smooth (so far), usually it 
takes few centuries of dark ages. Even if everything these days is 
accelerated 10X, we're still looking at several decades of deep s*it.

The interesting speculation would be: what is the best way for the 
American Empire to fall? The most likely way is a limited nuclear war 
where most of nuclear weapons facilities are taken out and global 
population halved, but that's rather unappealing. Can it fall so that 
Twitter, Google and Facebook survive?
