Power mad rulers? Check!

Overextending resources in pointless overseas garrisons and wars? Check!

All we need now is a decent volcanic eruption to cover a few cities, like a re-enactment of Pompeii, to complete the picture.

Need a decent stabbing in the Rotunda as well, so Trump can say 'Et Tu, Vance?'

I'm sure there is a Nostradamus quatrain that foreshadows this.

QUATRAIN #1-32

The grand empire will be quickly exchanged
For a tiny area, that very soon expands;
A rather unfamous place, in a forgotten land,
In the middle of which he will come to lay down his scepter.

There you go!
Trump undone by Israel.

QUATRAIN #1-35

The younger lion, shall overcome the older
On the field of combat, by singular duel;
Through armor of gold, his eye will be pierced,
Two wounds in one, then to die a cruel death.

Donnie going down!

QUATRAIN #1-70

Tempest, hatred, war, in Iran not ceasing,
Those of too great a faith will betray the Monarch;
But the end begins in France,
A secret sign for one to be surrounded.

This one needs no interpretation.
