In the end, the US empire listed about 250 years. Maybe they stumble along shitting themselves for another 50 years, but this is likely the beginning of the end considering they’ve destroyed any trust with other powers for generations, and done so right at the time when they needed this ethical narrative to constrain China’s dominance. Like many other empires they became arrogant and shit all over everyone else, and eventually the knives come out.
250, maybe 300 years. Pretty mid, to be honest. Just average. Not really the powerful and unique exemplar they envisioned, just a standard run of the mill power that let the success get to their heads.
