With Trump, long bought, as well as US Congress bought or threatened by AIPAC that will be difficult to do. A lot of Americans are just plain ignorant, too.
True, it will be difficult - but not impossible, though it will be very painful (for the whole world). But then again, the 'decline of empires' seem to follow certain patterns (from history), and some people (experts in their respective fields) have already been noticing 'data points' that seem to suggest the confirmation of such patterns.
The unfolding logic of 'decline of an empire' is often filled with unpredictable events, hence timing such a scenario is always challenging. Nonetheless, I think people noticing such things is increasing by the day...
I've been watching the US's fall for forty years now, no one believed it could happen but they had already started once they claimed to be the world leader and their sense of impunity was right there. The pity is that when pushed other countries relented too easily and joined in their regime change wars. If they had been left to do it on their own it would not have gone this far, they needed others to call them what they wanted to be numero uno. Same with Israelis, if the US hadn't backed them and other countries were blackmailed or bribed into still falling for Jewish victimhood, this would have been stopped in a very short time.
You leaders around the world now, and your fellows before you, are as guilty of this disgusting genocide as the Israeli people are. You could have cut this off at the knees in the first months, but no you let it happen when zionist Jews made it abundantly clear what they were going to do, and set about arming them by each of you in one way or another.
The decline of every empire, historically, has been the result of the growing of massive inequality in wealth and power among the people. Capitalism and technology have accelerated the rate of growth in the wealth/power gap.
I would also add gross social injustice, open discrimination, nepotism, incompetence on all levels, "leadership" full or morons and imbeciles that only know who's ring to kiss. In other words, total decadence.
Massive inequality in wealth results in massive inequality of power that allows or encourages gross social injustice, discrimination, and nepotism. Nepotism protects incompetence to retain power within “the family”. Nepotism, in and of itself, is not necessarily bad because “the family” knows its members better than it knows anyone outside of the family, but nepotism also resist external opportunities for improvements.
Throughout recorded history, marriage among the royal families of monarchs has been based upon nepotism and inbreeding, often resulting in the propagation of congenital diseases and defects. Such diseases and defects have analogous counterparts in political systems and corporate hierarchies.
Without actual democracy, meritocracy is a myth to give gullible people hope of being rewarded for perseverance and hard work. The members of most organizations recognize who among them deserves merit. However, when the members of the organizations are isolated from each other, they don’t always recognize significant contributions by members who are unseen.
One example that I often use is that of orderlies and janitors in hospitals and medical centers who clean, sanitize and maintain the facilities. Their work is as critical— if not more so — than that of highly paid surgeons. Most of such workers are usually unseen and are minimally rewarded even though they know their medical facilities more intimately than the transient surgeons who use them.
In medical centers/hospitals, janitors, nurses and physicians are all critically important to successful outcomes. None are really more or less important than each other. All have knowledge and skills that require years of experience to be fully developed.

GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY.

Thankfully less so as the photos are unavoidable now.
