What will a post US empire world look like? (lemmy.ml)

The cracks are showing. The US empire is in decay. What will the world look like once it's no longer able to bully everyone? What do we have to look forward to both inside and outside the imperial core?

'intent' is a bit of a devious notion in this context though, isn't it? Whose intent?

We didn’t had internet or ability to fly and sail bunch of tanks across thousands of kilometers within days.

We didn't have these when the current global power structure was established. We didn't have AK-47S either, and much of the world had yet to industrialize. It was a very specific context.
