This is fair, but you're only addressing one vector of empire collapse, which is through warfare with external forces.

Yes.

I watched a documentary on hughtube, and it showed how the red chinese were turning frogs gay through chemtrails in their passenger jets.

If this continues, the US will fail due to lack of kids and due to everyone left being an immigrant!
