See what you all don’t understand is America is entering a new age where we feel we no longer have a strategic threat. But we still have all the…toys to hammer a threat. So what to do with all this firepower with no one to aim it at!? Decisions decision.

Yeah, there was a European leader who used to talk like that. He's not held in high regard these days

It’ll be short lived. As soon as America pulls away there will be a power vacuum and the next generation Americans is guaranteed to sort out that mess.

....... most would agree that the world is likely on the verge of great changes - generational changes. 

If these changes come to pass and as history reflects these changes will be the squibs. 

Like water flowing over a smooth cement floor the direction and flow is very uncertain. 

Who would argue that the West is sowing the wind. 

Might be a very rough ride ............................. for the next generation.

No, that's usually when empires fall. You can look back at a huge number of empires that fell over the years including Rome and someone and so forth and you see a similar pattern.

You’re not looking at the right place. Do me a favor and draw a giant island. Compared that giant island to Japan and Great Britain. The two longest lived country. That’s who you should make comparison to.

I would agree that if the U.S. is in decline it will be eaten last and likely from within.

Oh ZERO doubt.  How could they hope to go to war with the low level of faith in the current administration, and in the government generally ?

They are disunified, and it was done by media in order to garner profits, among other agents.

The conspiracy theories that were posted on here were a symptom.

9/11 itself didn't cause any great changes...

Both Japan and Great Britain used to be empires and have now fallen. Great Britain is a shadow of its former self and so is Japan. I mean technically Rome still exists but you wouldn't call it an empire would you

Did you happen to read the part where their empires ended? It’s because of America. You know WWII…

That was not the death of the British Empire. Again read a book.

And while it was an end to Japanese imperialism it wasn't actually an end to the Japanese empire which had already fallen in the past. See my previous comment regarding books

Then there's the Chinese Empire, roman empire, Byzantine, spanish empire for sure, many others and if you look at how they fell and when they fell and the events leading up to it you begin to notice a pattern

Except the Mongols. The Mongol seem to be the exception to literally everything in history. I have no idea why

How about you read some more. I insist. The British empire fell apart directly because of WWII. America dominated the oceans. See French British attempt to seize Suez Cannal.

I'm sure you have several favorites you could recommend but I'm really not into dr seuss  

And no, ww2 did not 'directly' end the british empire. Please. 

Anyway, go have your nap and your cookie, we'll talk later

I’d like you to expand on that thesis, for my benefit at least. I’m not a great book reader myself these days but I do recall that when and why empires fall is frequently a matter of great debate among historians.

Which thesis was that? The British Empire?

while some empires fall rather suddenly, it is true that many happen over a. Of time and different historians will without a doubt big different examples or dates or events as being "The beginning of the end"
