Never underestimate a wounded and decaying Empire collapsing in real time.
Imperial functionaries, even in a “diplomatic” capacity, continue to brazenly declare that their exceptionalist control over the world is mandatory.
If that’s not the case, competitors may emerge and steal the limelight – monopolized by US oligarchies. That, of course, is absolute anathema.

Well thought out. Also kind of depressing in terms of the forecasted US maneuvers and training more terrorists.
...I wouldn't expect less of the Empire....
