From Saigon rooftops to Kabul runways, the empire’s legacy in two tragic snapshots. One, a desperate scramble from Vietnam, the other a frantic flight from Afghanistan. Decades apart, but the same story of imperial overreach collapsing into humiliation.

Even at the height of US power, it couldn’t defeat peasant armies in sandals, relying instead on carpet bombing and CIA coup games. Flexing its muscle at wedding parties and goat herders, but always losing when the smoke cleared.

Now, the empire isn’t just losing wars — it’s losing the plot. Saigon was a humiliation. Kabul was a full-blown imperial collapse, livestreamed in real-time for the world to see. And what came after? The desperate proxy gamble in Ukraine, where NATO’s finest military “strategists” got outplayed by Russian chessmasters.

The American Century ended not with a victorious parade, but with civilians clinging to aircraft and warlords retaking palaces. It’s all downhill from here — the Global South rising, the multipolar world ascending, and the empire running out of places to run.
