America is the most sophisticated empire in the history of mankind. But it will also fall.

Interestingly, US elites learned a lot from the collapse of the recent empires of UK, France, Spain etc., but they are repeating the fatal errors of the Roman Empire from 2000 years ago.

Spain and Portugal were vast empires but failed mostly because they didn’t focus on technology and innovation.

The US learned that lesson and pushed the medal to the pedal until a decade ago, when China started taking the lead role.

Now, America’s only plan is to cripple China.

The British Empire was relatively the most cunning until 1945, but it also crumbled partly because it literally occupied its colonies.

Thus, the American Empire devised indirect control through central banks, IMF/World Bank, corporations, food supply, energy supply etc.

And even when the US had to occupy its vassal states through military bases, the colonized people were presented with an illusion of sovereignty — like in Japan and Germany.

So, this visible but invisible empire is more stable than any European colonial power.

But the American Empire replicated two deadly sins of the Roman Empire:

🔹Over-extended military & perpetual wars

🔹Exploiting its own people and then covering it up with bread and circus.

Like a snake eating its own, America has been devouring itself for the last 4 decades.

Thanks to the rigged dollar supremacy, the US is able to keep its poor people from revolting.

Tens of millions of Americans are given free food, free housing, free healthcare etc. This is the “bread” of the Roman Empire.

Wokeism is the US version of the Roman circus.

Keeping people sedated through pharmaceutical drugs, marijuana, illegal drugs, alcohol etc. are more modern concepts embraced by the American Empire.

Aldous Huxley predicted this decades ago:

The Roman Empire eventually fell apart internally and externally. Same is happening with the USA.

The country is deeply polarized. Republicans and Democrats live in alternate universes.

Rome was also attacked by “barbarians” — Germanic tribes from the north.

The US strategy has always been to proactively befriend the barbarians. Hence the sponsoring of Al Qaeda, Nazis, dictators, death squads etc.

But unlike Rome, the US is facing sophisticated geopolitical masterminds like Russia and China.

The silent revolt is gathering pace. A multipolar world is emerging.

The new global alliance won’t burn down Washington DC.

But it’s possible that Americans will burn down their own country when the exorbitant privileges start disappearing.
