I think a little of column a a little of column b. the reaching hand of empire has taken so many Ls of late and is high as a kite on copium, but does not seem to have the organisation or capacity to even hold onto places in their own 'back yard'. capitalism will continue its decay, as will all the institutions of the imperial core that give us our luxury filled lives, this will be blamed on refugees and foreign powers such as china iran ect you know the usual line up.
I expect the imperial core to more retreat inward and consume itself, as the US has already started doing, rather than reach out to grab more resources. the capacity for empire is completely collapsing, and the anti imperialist wave only grows more and more as China allows for an alternative multi polar world that they will absolutely happily trade with to facilitate an independence from the US bloc.
