Agreed. You cannot defeat the US militarily, so your only option is to rot it from within.

From what I can see, that is correct. The question is, what comes after?

The people must be in a position when that happens, such that we may decide for ourselves, what the answer is.

This is the way!

I think a better analogy is the fall of the greek city states.
Alexander out building a military empire, but in this case spending himself broke to do it, war feeding on war.
And if that were the case, what would be the operative question here. Alexander would be asking himself "do I go to war to maintain my power, wealth, and influence, despite that war would also diminish them?" And what question is the u.s. intelligentsia and affiliated elite hoplites in D.C. asking themselves? The same thing. It's about diminishing returns.

The power centers are concentrated sure, but aren't mere monopoly, nor even duopoly, but a confluence of individuals, NGOs, and public-private partnerships, with their bases in major cities (be they corporate headquarters, NGOs, or political parties). Aristocracy has made way for oligarchy, which in turn made way for plutocracy, keeping in mind social influence or status is itself seen as a form or means to wealth now, an opportunity-currency in the higher level self-dealing networks that make up the uniparty dualistic 'neoconservative/neoliberalism'.

Rome fell specifically because it ran out of money and easily conquerable territory in the face of specific threats, and out-ran the number of soldiers needed to take territory versus the gains of taking territory.

greece fell from innumerable tensions fatally aggravated by a long term drought, and internal-strife that was irreconcilable in the face of invasion. The divide here isn't rome/constantinople, where they could at least draw on a reunified culture and military base. We have the military strength (for now) but no unified culture, and so that strategy will fail.
An invasion of the u.s. or a large scale war at this time would therefore seal our fate in the same way it did the greeks--permanently, rather than the defeat and hibernation that was romanism and the dark ages.

edit: I'd argue even, that our opponents need only push their luck, precisely because we are not the phoenix of rome, but the hydra of thebes. A war, pushed on us, through invasion or even peripheral invasion (taiwan, ukraine, israel), etc, would, like russia calling our bluff on dollar-sanctions, probably finish the deal, metaphorically cutting off all the heads at once and cauterizing the neck stumps in the process.

You don't take out an immortal enemy that keeps coming back, one limb at a time. You take off all the limbs, all the heads, at once.

The centers of power are the cities. The cities rely on the dollar and their digital infrastructure.

No doubt the ccp and russia, in the past, or even today, in some aspect, still have ties to britain, british zionism, and globalism (or what would have been the reason for compliance with covid policies globally? The gifts of land that made the u.s. territorial integrity possible? The agreement on bretton woods handing us supremacy? The mass transfer of u.s. technology and industry to china?).
However, and I will repeat it again, no doubt the ccp and russia, in the past, or even today, in some aspect, still have ties to britain, british zionism, and globalism
But Xi and Putin would be absolute fools not to realize this historic moment to act. That their obligation to both their legacies, and to their own power, and nations, supersedes any past obligations or loyalties or promises.


They see this as the passing of the torch. When they should be looking at this as the opportunity to snuff out the torchbearer itself. They are still participating in orwells three warring superstates model, when probably for the last time in history (owing to technological and mass-psychology development) this is the last time in living memory any nation or leader will ever have the opportunity in at world domination, or if not that, then at manufacturing the environment necessary to eventually achieve world domination.

Failing that, on a long enough timeline, political, social, religious, economic, demographic, and technological developments will see the major superpowers integrated (say within the next one thousand years), and their cultures assimilated both ideologically and demographically, until all that they ever were, are, or could be, is annihilated into a global melting pot.

I would rather see the chinese, the russians, or the europeans (america or europe proper) survive, solely, by themselves as cultures, than to see none of them survive at all.

America is the lynchpin of their, and our, eventual demise.

The question is, if Xi, or Putin, whatever their arguable loyalties may be, have the foresight to see this not as a passing of the torch, fulfilling their meager roll in the obliteration of all thats worthwhile in history in the face of one all-assimilating bland global superstate bereft of history or a memorable past--and instead have the courage and the ego necessary to pull the pin on the grenade that is america, and upend forever the secular humanist plot of international marxism.

These men I speak of, not Xi or Putin, but those behind the international banking system, global zionism, they are the ones who have plotted for a century now, to unite the world under one government, built on a pile of corpses, the corpses of religion, culture, nationality, tradition, and even men women and children. Not for anyone's benefit, but merely for their pleasure. The complete annihilation of human civilization itself, to be replaced by the industrialization of utter, and complete totalitarianism, the perfection of not god-in-man, nor human strivings, but the perfection of none other than slavery itself, for its own sake.

The world cries for a benevolent tyrant, to save it from the machinations of something worse--rapacious oligarchs the evil of whom few people can grasp.

Because something has to come after, when this pivot by the regime, also fails.
If you recognize what is happening, before it happens, you have an opportunity to contribute to or influence the outcome.
