1/200 S2E196 - The USA and Imperial Decline

The aims of the illegal war waged by the US and Israel in Iran seem to be failing, but does this indicate a failure of Empire? We discuss the differences between the US as a state, the Empire as a system and the ways seemingly disastrous failures, past and present, have tended to consolidate power for those at the top, rather than lead to significant imperial decline.This episode’s co-hostsKyle, Kieran, JosephineTimestamps0:00 Opening / Introductions2:16 An Overview7:57 The Global Imperial System18:46 Growing Gaps39:48 The Elite44:20 The Decline of Empire1:05:38 Health Systems1:16:44 Justice1:19:12 ClosingIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200
