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?
Everyone seems to forget that the US's main currency is nukes. That's where hegemonic power comes from. Nukes allow the US to create hostage situations, which is why everyone needs nukes. It levels the playing field.
