TranscriptA threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

I dunno, I'm pretty sure Japan is older.

Depends what you define as nation. Modern day Japan is only 157 years old since the Meiji Restoration started in 1868.

Like the US will still exist after the American empire collapses but sure as hell not in it’s current form.

Then the US can only count since the civil war 🤷‍♂️ Or maybe since Hawaii's invasion (1959).
