- thinkingtoilet 2y agoWhy not both? We are absolutely an empire in decline. And we just elected someone who spoke about the "enemy from within" and made numerous threats of turning the military on the American people.
- tgv 2y agoTime will tell, but the 30s also ended in the fall of Europe. It's only one economic crisis to the fall of the American empire.
- bitsandboots 2y agoI'm going Fall of Rome because of the potential for the end of Pax Americana
- krageon 2y agoIt's not been a hugely impactful country in the way that the roman empire was, so at the very least it's not the latter. I know people like to say "pax americana" was a thing, but let's be real - even when the US was actually doing well it wasn't a force for peace and development.
