1. The world doesn't seem peaceful to me.

2. Ridiculous.

3. We will see. Don't cross a river that is on average 4ft deep.

4. You are thinking too linear.

My analysis doesn't break down, it's the US that is breaking down.

You can't produce a rebuttal to my essay and that is why you resort to propaganda-style tactics. I don't understand why you think talking about Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany gives credence to your hypothesis. Btw, Japan and Germany are in the "West" today aren't they?

P.S. You don't have adversaries. You're a biased academic sitting on a sofa using selective bias and selective history to support his pre-conceived notions.
