Only time will tell

As the entire story admits, only time will tell.

Is the U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan the End of the American Empire?

Not the end BUT the beginning of the end of Amerikan terrorism... You will not see the fruits of peace in your or my life time time but the rot has already set in and it will go down. Also note if you plot a chart of global terrorism it will be directly proportional to the rot because countries like US do not go down gracefully.

much of the suffering in the world is caused by the major powers fighting each other in regional wars, where they use factions in such regions against eachother to keep their own defense industries active.

the peoples in such conflict zones are far better off practicing diplomacy and inclusive governing, than they are fighting each other.

humanity will stay a disgraceful species until we start cooperating with each other rather than sending our troops into fights against each other over issues that can be decided upon equitably.
