The USA had no empire before WWII. So they have around 160 years of bliss in store for us

Thats completely wrong. The U.S. has been an empire ever since 1845, when they annexed Mexico. That was 176 years ago.

After the events of the 2020 election, the U.S. has lost its legitimacy in the eyes of its people and the world. It is an unsustainable Empire that is on a rapid path to disintegration.

And BTW, the age of an Empire lasting 250 years is just an ad hoc rule of thumb. John Glubb trimmed the data to better fit his hypothesis.
