A nation's hegemony is based on the strength of its economy and what it can produce. The GAE with its fiat money and its gross overspending and debasing of its currency is already dead. The GAE, looking for quick profits, farmed its productive capacity to China. It is an empty shell. China, Russia, and India are already looking for alternatives to the dollar and the SWIFT interbank clearing system. Once the dollar loses its reserve status, the GAE will be officially dead. And that will be very soon unless the elites in DC wake up. It's on life support now.
Your conclusion is exactly as predicted by the authors of the "The 4th Turning." A total reworking of the political and economic system with a high likelihood of total war. Ironically one of the authors, Howe, was recently interviewed on YouTube and argued FOR one of the reasons the GAE stands to loose its position (by 2030 he says). And that is: why wouldn't we want to print more money if we can keep interest rates low, even if it does leave unserviceable trillions in national debt? Not doing so would make us like the "Grinch". Of course in his world, the rich get the presents and the rest of us are left holding the bag. But he's pretty confident that he has done his part to make the Great Reset happen, however the chips may land.
Was Yarvin's point that the GAE would remain the globally dominant power through the 21st century? Or was it rather that the cathedral's woke religion would remain the dominant ideology within the GAE's sphere of influence? It certainly doesn't seem plausible that Western hegemony can continue - all indications are that it's already done. On the other hand, as it decays into global irrelevance, it will retain nuclear weapons, meaning foreign powers will remain reluctant to engage in a direct military confrontation. At the same time, speech and thought controls can keep the home population in line for some time. A scenario where America becomes a 21st century Ottoman Empire - a vast decaying husk too weak to threaten other states, but perfectly capable of keeping its home population subjugated - seems unfortunately very plausible.
It still is strong. What caused this mess was a rigged election that many refuse to talk about. The American voters didn't put these puppet masters in charge corruption did. Soon it will be shown..
It is NOT the USA dollar but rather the USA Constitution that secures the dollars dominance. No other country offers a constitution like ours. While we are not immune to the disruption of corruption at least our Constitution allows a path to right outcomes. That is why the left always h*tes the constitution.
We should revert back to Monroe Doctrine geographical influence, focus on Latin America and Canada. It’ll reduce illegal migrant and drug influx. Then Africa will naturally join in due to historical cultural ties from slave descendants today. That leaves Europe and Asia to compete in an endless quagmire like before: EU flooded with migrants, Russia drained of people and natural resources, China bogged down in myriad ways, India playing favorites with everyone, Mideast endless rivalries, Israel mastering self-defense. But what Oceania and Antarctica?

John Glubb- an average empire lasts about 250 years. So, the latter hypothesis is about right.

We are a Republic and I have no desire to promote an Empire
