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?
You don't have to be globally hegemonic to still pick on countries way smaller than you. There's not really an end, just a slide down the scale of who you're able to fuck with and how easily you can fuck with them.
