To add to this, decline isn’t something that is guaranteed to happen swiftly. The decline and subsequent fall of Rome took centuries. I know that’s a cliche example, but it’s still useful to think of imperialist decline in this way. Considering the scale of its hegemony, the US nation-state is likely to follow a similar path of withering over time.
