Hello all. I've been thinking a lot around the idea that history appears to repeat itself, at least in terms of Hegemony and imperial decline. While I know there is debate on America's definition of being an empire or not, I am interested in the opinions of this forum's members on their idea of parallels on it's current geopolitical decline and possible refutations of this idea.
Do you believe we can draw comparisons between the decline of the British Empire, and can this be used to predict or understand American decline? Indeed, is America declining geopolitically at all?
I hope this makes sense, and I'm very interested in everyone's opinions.
