Yeah, it's hard to weep for American hegemony when it has mostly been used as a crude cudgel, but it's just a bit odd to watch an empire rapidly crumble in real time from the inside through such a shocking series of unforced errors.

There's something to be said about the fact that those who shout the loudest about "America First!" are the very same ones to blame for its inevitable demise.

Feels like being on the sidelines (or a Roman, if you're American) during Honorius' reign.
