> The strategy worked, America set up the world order post-ww2
The only issue is we dominated the world economy because the rest of the world was recovering from either destruction in World War Two or colonization. But our GDP as a percentage of world GDP peaked in 1960… and 1960 was some time ago. The ego of empire can outlast the empire, just look at the British.

You know there are British people on the internet who still brag about steam engines in comment sections? I just hope America never turns out like that.

Bragging about an empire after it falls is peaked in high school energy but at a civilizational level. You either don’t fall, make a new one, or shut up about it. But you never want to be the kid who peaked in high school. Never be that guy.
