When will the American Empire collapse?

[Celerity]

11. profoundly disagree, it fits the definition of an empire at a multiplicity of levels

Militarily (over 1000 military bases and endless military interventions) It spends more on the war/security/surveillance state than the rst of the world combined. Just on 'defence' it spends more than the next 10 countries combined, and more than the lower 144. Post WWII it has went on or aided in multiple murderous wars, actions, and coups d'état. It has the most powerful military in human history and uses it (and its clandestine forces such as the CIA) often, and certainly not for the good in multiple cases.

Financially (largest economy and the US dollar is world's reserve currency, and kept there via the military-maintained petrodollar matrix)

Culturally (biggest cultural exporter in the world, and has helped to make English (before that it was the British empire obviously that expanded it) the dominant international language, especially of business.

yes

it is most definitely an empire
