You "recall" a lot of things. Always an excuse, from the collapse of the Soviet Union to Trump's election in November.

what about the collapse of the US empire?

What specific things are you thinking of when you use that term?

military budget and your 800 bases around the world or whatever and nato i would guess would go with it.

Our military budget and bases around the world are a sign of collapsing US empire?

So you're a communist fortune teller who's asking me why I'm making excuses for something that hasn't happened yet when I haven't made any excuses for it because I'm not also a fortune teller?

Please reread the previous few pages of this thread.
It reads like a story from crazy town. Go to the store buy a bottle of your favorite beverage and grill a burger. Relax it’s really not that bad.

Brics is gaming power because the United States has pushed them to do so through sanctions. China is not an exceptional power it is an exceptional technology thief.

Are the people saying the empire will collapse in five years the same people saying the world is going to end in 10 years because of global climate change? I’ll take everything they say with a grain of salt.
