Coup de Grace on empires are military. US will be. The British Empire needed WWI and WWII to fall. Most likely, the US empire will need a military little push to be declared over.

Script will be: Crisis arise in Iran. US do sabre rattling. US tries diplomatic channels. U.N. doesn’t go along a quick solution and pushes for diplomatic solution, ‘accidents’, bribes, whatever to avoid confrontation. U.S. tries to get a coalition, to no avail. US decide to solve the problem single-handed.

Meanwhile a few Antonov with the right gadgets and advisers have been landing in Iran for a couple of months. Hardened guerrilas arrive in trucks from Iraq: Cheap fighting material at USD1.000 per head per month. They vanish into the landscape armed, not old remains from demolished Iraq arsenal but with the latest gadgets. Satellite always overhead advises on coordinated action. U.S. will try to do a quick push, enter, is hit hard, get stuck withdraw in humiliation. Quiet and cirurgically the policeman of the world discovers is shown its time has passed.
