Is America the first empire to just give up? I can't think of any other examples of a massive super power just deciding to throw away all of it's power in a single year.

But I haven't given up. Checked, cute centurion

Maybe you haven't, but you aren't America.

The Soviet Union already did that

Murca is the little colony that failed. More like.

No, the apathy you're observing sets in during every collapse.

nah, the houthis are kind of poking the bear but it appears that the saudis have been given their orders and are preparing a ground offensive into hourhi territory to uproot them.

No, they died fighting Hitler.

There was a coup. Everything wasn't just fine and Gorbachev decided the Warsaw pac was dumb.

>empire
Empires are conquered and built, America and such international influence as it has were stolen and bought.

getting partitioned by 3 empires isnt really giving up
fucked finances making you unable to defend yourself effectively neither

we haven't gotten to the official empire part of the story yet. that comes next.

What else are we going to do, the jig is up

the country hasn't even started to act yet. people are insane if they think the people that will do what is happening in ukraine just because are going to give it up without going ape

You mean being stabbed in the back by American anti colonialism before they could rebuild.

Alot of it is just waiting, waiting for the crash. Once welfare goes you're going to see ALOT of drama, and it's unsustainable UNLESS the powers go along with world policy, then they get to keep their gibs.

>>510110874
America is in a better position because you got alot of people out in the sticks, that are independent more or less.

>>510106922 (OP)
America didn't "give up". It lost in Afghanistan. The same thing happened to the western roman empire. It fractured after being unable to expand then the western empire got wrecked by Germans as the east held on.

It's not going to be the same with America due to geography but it will be close. America will be unable to project power and it will just fracture.
