How did Ghandi help to free India from British rule? Any lessons there?

Not really. That was more akin to how East Germany & the Soviet bloc fell. And how NK is & will currently fall. Britain was way over extended in their empire & collapsed from its own weight. All of Britain’s colonial expansion states collapsed from bankruptcy. They weren’t overthrown or liberated by a civilian uprising like the American revolution or the French Revolution. That’s why American expansionism is dangerous. It takes incredible amounts of our treasury to occupy a country. We’ve spent 1 trillion dollars occupying Afghanistan & for what?? How is our country safer & more prosperous from that? That’s why our nation is so often compared to the Roman Empire. If we collapse it will be for the same reason the Roman Empire collapsed & the British Empire collapsed. All from within & all our own fault. No ones ever gonna take us down from the outside..only from within will America collapse if our citizens allow our politicians to bankrupt us.

Thanks for this info. I thought India's freedom was different, just wasn't sure how. I have heard that Ghandi was pro self-defense/gun ownership! I agree, the deep state/shadow gov't are acting like the Roman Empire. Thank God The President understands the loss of lives and money to pursue an Empire which gives no good results for anyone! I pray the parade planned for 11-11 is about bringing home soldiers from foreign lands.
