All Empires rise, then decline and finally dissapear, history teaches that pretty well.

The thing is, Empires last every day less....

Agypt 3000 years, Rome nearly 1000 years, Spain 500 years, Britain 300 years and now the USA ... ? :hmm:

But sure as hell, their empire will end, meaning their hegemony will dissapear -not of course their state & nation-

Who will be next?

My guess is that future empires will be those with huge energy resources AND weapons to defend them. Saudi Arabia does not fall into that category -no weapons- and China also doesn't -no resources-

Is it the time again for Russia?
