I don’t think people understand just how tipsy the US is right now.

We have a 9.1% Unemployment Rate (The number pre-revolution in Egypt was 9.2%, and only slightly higher in Syria)

The Youth Unemployment is very high, not dissimilar to many MENA states.

In addition, we also have a large number of Disaffected Minorities and Groups, like in Libya or Syria.

And finally, we have very public corruption and concentration of money towards the top.

Combined with a near-Pakistani Political Landscape (one party is Modernity, while the other party is Hyper-Traditional) and we have a recipe for something. Not sure what yet.
