America seems to be teetering on collapse, but still I keep hearing about them spreading their influence in eastern Europe and South America. What would have to happen to get them to stop? I know the British Empire collapsed under mountains of debt after WW2, can US imperialism slow down just a little?
When people say America is in decline, they mean relative to other powers on the world stage, they in no way mean major declines in things like GDP in ways that impact the ability of the US to keep federal staffing up in these particular agencies.
