Pedro Martínez: Neither then is stating that the USA has not passed it's zenith. The conditions after WWII where most powers were rebuilding that gave the USA an edge are no longer applicable. The cold war is over. No side won.

As for Britain. Yep. WWII did that, but it would have come sooner or later anyway. History teaches as a fact that all empires rise and fall.

Pedro Martínez:Yes it is opinion as virtually everything on this board is and only history will tell whether this is the end of the US and the West as global leaders or just a setback. It is certainly a fact that China’s influence is growing and US and the West seems to have to resort to increasing desperate invasions to maintain their influence.

A fact that Britain is not as great as it once was? If you define greatness as the size of your empire then this is inevitable.
