Yes, the US was a regional power until it entered WWI. It became an empire when it took over from the UK after WWII. The problem right now isn't the decline of the US, it's that there is nobody to step in, so we are back to anarchy in international relations. Smaller powers are trying to fill in the vacuum, resulting in conflict, most visible in the middle east and most dangerous in the south china sea. And then there are the unresolved issues of an economic system based on unlimited compound growth on a planet with limited resources basically being a huge ponzi scheme and climate change. So we are looking at an era of economic crisis and wasting prescious resources on catastrophic wars followed by the realization that we are running out of water and time to stop earth from turning into a desert planet.Exactly
When the Brits realized they were losing their grip on their empire they tried their best to get America to take over and continue the influence they had over the middle east and Africa. See Ghana in the 1950s when they declared their independence from the Brits and tried to buy from Russians instead.
However i would argue that America was a world power, tho not super power, since the early 1900s (say WW1 era). Americans were instrumental in the push to form the United Nations early in that century


I’ve been ready. Here’s some of my items.

Socities rise and fall.
Just say you don't know shyt about shyt and don't even wanna.
The average empire lasts 250 years, about 10 generations
We are a bit overdue in that sense, but the life cycle of an empire goes:
The Age of Pioneers (founding of the country)
The Age of Conquest (taking the land from
the Native Americans)
The Age of Commerce (Slave trade)
The Age of Affluence (Baby boomer generation/post World War 2)
The Age of Intellect (60s/70s with the rise of social movements)
The Age of Decadance (Where we are now)
The Age of Decadance is characterized as having these common characteristics: an undisciplined overextended military, conspicuous display of wealth/consumerism, massive disparity between rich and poor, a desire to live off of bloated stakes, and an obsession with sex
Sounds familiar huh
Call me crazy call me a tin foil but the process has definitely sped up for America and soon in our lifetime we will see some sort of martial law, civil war, or the fall of America alltogether. When this happens there will be total chaos, bands of rapists, robbers and killers roaming in packs as well as white militias mowing non whites down in breaking #s. All these IG thots will be selling their bodies to the highest bidders, gangs will click up, races will click up.

BingoAmerican society has been in a state of long term decline for as long as I've been alive. Think about it. Detroit used to be the auto manufacturing capital of the world. Now the D is largely ruins.
What makes America different from Europe is the intense segregation and racism. In England, half of all blacks are half white.
The divide and conquer shyt keeps getting worse. Every cac is a redneck all if the sudden. Whites don't hide their racism anymore. The media has been trying to incite a race war for years. Back when Obama first got elected, Coli/Twitter militants didn't even exist. Race relations keep getting worse.
On top of that, America is trying to ban guns. All of this shyt is leading up to some socially engineered civil war, probably a race war, followed by Marshall law and severe losses of freedom. Of course this is all worse case scenario. None of that shyt might happen, but it is probable.
