Anyone else feel like this is the mid 1930's all over again.

We have a slumping world economy with several basket cases.

We're seeing the rise of nationalist parties in Europe and America with a our country first attitude, combined with a desire to ban or segragate different racial groups or immigrant groups.

We see Russia acting in a semi expansionist mode, we see China spending a ton of money to rebuild their military to move it away from being a coastal defense scope.

We have America moving towards a isolationist stand while the President talks about an arms build up.
