Numerous mainstream media outlets have reported that the US military is preparing for war on China, as soon as 2025. Japan is re-militarizing and collaborating closely in these war plans.

I used to be in the military and…yeah. This event is treated as an eventuality. Which is pretty insane to me because our leaders know we can’t beat them. Launching a war with the actual strongest military on the planet is a losing gamble.
So what’s their plan? Just end all life with nukes?
Scariest thing is that yeah, with failing state and nukes they might decide that they are gonna gambit at keeping their world hegemony even if that world is gonna get much worse and smaller - like the fucking Caesar pointing at village and saying “I would rather be first here than second at Rome”. Or outright go “Apres moi, le deluge”.
And even if not, we never before had failed state with nukes, amount of bad things that can happen are endless.
Does 90’s Russia count?
Not really, the state fallen, but it wasn’t free fall, it was purposeful dismantling of the system. There was no civil war, government didn’t lost control over army, and the vultures were acting more or less in concert. West was also uninterested in that, they wanted a compliant victim to loot with minimal effort and to fulfill their end of history scenario.
I have no idea how exactly USA will fall, but it will fall under its own weight.
I agree overall, with the exception for the civil war part. Wars between Armenia and Azerbaijan? Between Kirgystan and Tajikistan? Between Georgia and Ossetia? Current war in Ukraine? They are all civil wars of the USSR
There was no civil war involved in fall of USSR, those are years later and are caused by USA losing its grip on the ongoing process of keeping Russia down.
Reminds me of that scene in Doctor strangelove where all the generals are discussing their plans for the post-nuclear world.
Luckily tho, not all empires go out with a bang(Rome, Britain, Spain). Due to the strong economic ties that China consciously built with the US, US capitalists know its not in their overall interest, so nuclear war is probably not going to happen.
We also see that the US, like the bully it is, is only willing risk conflict with countries that aren’t a real threat.
The US will go like Britain… a long, pathetic, whiny decline into irrelevance.
I hope so
