  • This is a bunch of wishcasting lmao

    So long as DoD commitments don’t change, this is not “the end of U.S. Empire”. Soft power always follows hard, not vice-versa.

    Now if this leads vassals to say, ‘hey, without the soft power we don’t much care for your military bases’ and try to buck the yolk of empire, that might actually mean the end of U.S. Empire. But that’s not on the terms laid out above lmao.

    Hegemony was going to end sooner or later, and now the U.S. is basically choosing to end it on its own terms. It is the post-American world order - brought to you by America itself.

    lol. lmao even.
