Can you please predict how the USA will fall because all I see and have been seeing is just wishful thinking. Wishful thinking won't change a thing
I don't make predictions, I recognise patterns and these patterns playing out nowadays are too coincidental to ignore.

Just before the British empire finally fell, they fought wars to maintain dominance. Yes they won the war militarily but they lost economic dominance that they once had over the world and Britain peacefully transitioned to America's junior partner.

Just before the Roman Empire fell, they fought wars to maintain Rome's status as the dominant global power. What later happened? Rome collapsed due to economic strain, administrative, demographic decline, political instability and military fatigue.

Just before the Spanish empire fell, they also fought wars to maintain hegemonic status which drained their resources, manpower, and finances.

All these, out of other signs, are happening in America. That's why I said America is cornered.

A cornered power lashes out indiscriminately - That is currently happening, USA is threatening both friends and foes (Europe, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Mexico etc)

A cornered power loses monetary credibility - BRICS is challenging dollar dominance, USA is in 38 Trillion dollars in debt.

A cornered power faces alliance collapse - Currently as I type this, Europe is on its way to Death Valley. Canada doesn't see itself as USA's ally anymore. Japan will most likely jump ship eventually. Other allies in the Indo Pacific wouldn't even think twice about jumping ship.

Bottom line is - America is facing an inevitable collapse. It will be a gradual fall rather than a sudden collapse and that collapse is already in motion towards south.

The wars the US are fighting are not big enough to drain it . Both world wars are what drained the British empire not the previous ones the fought and I'm asking you which country has the capacity right now to fill the vacuum that will be there if the USA is drained. Truth is the USA is not like previous empires,this in will reign for more than a thousand years brother,they have learn from the mistakes of previous empires

I swear, Hollywood has brainwashed this one.

He gave you stats;

USA is 38 trillion dollars in the hole.

Trump is adding another 6 trillion dollars to the national debt.

US has fought allies and foes alike.

Canadians are boycotting US products. At the same time, visit from Canadians to the US has fallen 20%.

There are states and industries that rely on such traffic.

Tariffs are inflationary, Healthcare subsidies have been halted, and unemployment for fresh graduates is at an all time high.

BRICS nations have a protocol which bypasses the dollar for international transactions.

Europe would learn as US claims Greenland.

There is nothing the USA military can do which the Russian police can't do.
The only people impressed by trump's crazy military actions are people like you, not Putin.
mastermaestro:
When he changed the name department of defense to department of war, you folks thought he was playing. Trump thinks the US military has grown weak and dormant over the years. These steps are deterrence strategies to remind Russia and China of its military and intelligence capabilities.

As he negotiates with Russia over Ukraine, he will continue to engage in military raids across the globe to tell Putin that the US can strike anywhere. More countries should expect forced regime changes. Unless Trump is impeached, Iran's case is a certainty.

Both world wars were not the sole cause of the collapse of the British empire. Yes World war 1 and 2 were the final nail in the coffin but Britain already faced huge challenges even before the First World War, Britain fought rising powers (Japan, USA, and Germany) before the 1st world war and they faced domestic economic issues which makes it very expensive to manage the empire. That's partly how and why Nigeria and other colonies gained independence.

US may bite more than it can chew if it doesn't approach Iran with caution. Iran is not Iraq. Already they can't bully China anymore. Russia as well is standing up to US and holding its ground. Which country has the capacity to fill the vacuum? Why do you think China repatriated its gold reserves from USA? Other counties such as Germany, Austria, Venezuela, Belgium and Netherlands have followed suit. Though that doesn't mean much but in the grand scheme of things, it signals distrust.

If the USA loses its hegemonic status, no single country needs to fill the vacuum. The world has changed, the vacuum can be filled by multiple rising powers or bloc.

USA will reign for more than a thousand years? What are you smoking bro? crack? The fall of America is in nobody's interest but the decline is real and visible. Best way forward is for USA to recognise that that other powers are in town. But USA's arrogance goes beyond recognising another world power. It wants to remain and maintain the ONLY world power which is not possible anymore. America's attempt towards that pursuit will be the end of the country as we know it and will be studied in history books. Well, if the world survives it because chances are that the war may go nuclear.

You made some sense than your previous 2 colleagues who were rambling and take Iran off the equation. Iran will be flogged like a little girl, china doesnt have he appetite for war or even aggressive manoveus for now .the best they can do is war games and exercises . Only the USA has all the Oceans on Earth covered wit Thier carriers and only USA has the capacity to project power anywhere on earth. All you need to know is the USA is not falling anytime soon.

USA is cornered and these are all the signs of a cornered, declining world power. We are essentially going back to full scale colonialism. Trump committed banditry in Venezuela, he can do the same in Columbia, Cuba and Mexico but how that will play out is a different kettle of fish.

With Iran, the attack can be expected in a couple of weeks, if not days. Iran will not sit tight and take it. Besides military response, Iran will close the strait of hormuz, sending world trade into turmoil.

There’s great possibility that he will take Greenland, Europeans will scream for a while but there’s nothing they can do about it. Trump will kill two birds with one stone in this case. Taking Greenland will mean the end of NATO. He wants to get rid of NATO anyway - Good riddance.

America is tripping itself up and this will not end well.
I believe the potential for the closing of the strait of homuz is one of the reasons they invaded Venezuela, to replace the oil from Iran when they attack Iran

Who are these your previous 2 colleagues? Who’s your employer? China certainly doesn’t have appetite for war. Zhikai Gao has repeatedly said that “China will not fire the first shot, but China will not let you fire the second shot”. It’s in their doctrine. It’s America that has been and still fighting needless wars. But when it’s time for China to take Taiwan, maybe later this year or next year, USA CANNOT risk stopping them militarily because that will be a historic FAFO moment for America. That’s beside the fact that America recognises Taiwan as part of China. (One China Policy).

You really think Iran will be “flogged like a little girl”? Look, I restrained hard to point out your shortsightedness in previous reply but I’ll lay it bare here because you’ve demonstrated your understanding of the possible USA-Iran confrontation as a face-off synonymous to a boxing fight where Anthony Joshua - Jake Paul fights it out and the strongest beat the weakest and a winner is declared. That’s laughably simplistic.

Yes, Iran doesn’t match the USA in sheer military strength, but it’s far from weak and can inflict real problems on America. Take the Houthis in Yemen: Trump himself said last May they’re “tough and brave fighters.” What happened? America eventually reached an agreement with the Houthis because it couldn’t defeat them. Fun fact: the US recently captured an Iranian Shahed drone and reverse-engineered it. Why is America reverse-engineering Iran's drone? Iran has military capabilities it hasn’t even shown, and both the US and Israel know it. But in your mind, the US can just launch missiles from F-35 or submarines and that’s “Iran flogged like a little girl.” Hilarious.

If you'd like to know, the US cannot defeat Iran without a full ground invasion and that invasion will NEVER happen.

Then there’s the economic side, which so many ignorantly dismiss. Iran controls part of the Strait of Hormuz. Shut it down, and global trade collapses. Stock markets in the US and Europe would tank. Average Americans would feel it firsthand. But you cheerlead because, in your mind, that’s “soft work” because America’s the global strongman, right? Forgetting or ignorant about the fact that economic warfare is real, and China knows very well how to fight it. Does China want to fight economic war? no but the US started it and the Chinese are grandmaster at fighting economic war.

Yes, America projects military power around the globe today. But if you think critically, you’d ask: with the erosion of dollar dominance accelerating, how will the US fund this military power projection over time? Say, in the next 10 years and beyond. USA has already discussed reduction of their military presence in Europe, that is already happening. NATO is dying a slow death. Overtime, US will reduce presence everywhere else when the military budget can't stretch far anymore. History has already been here. Empires rise, they get too big for their boot, they overextend, and they fall.

Did you say America learnt from the mistakes of past empires?
