Without war is also ‘game over empire’ because an empire must have money to buy social peace.
Social peace has a cost. Only places that paid for it, has it.

But note: Empire has only means to wage war. It doesn’t have money!

With the moolah piling up, the ones who’s got it –GCC south of Hormuz- can buy social peace tomorrow morning.
Mesopotamia plus Persia are both on the floor. No money. No peace.

The guys with moolah can buy social peace and get rid of trouble to keep making money.
War will only: disturb the money making and wastes money since war does not buy social peace.

An empire wthout money thinks only in terms of cannons. Thus keeping a region on a stage of war: (the all options are on the table thing) is good for empire because promts the guys with mooolah to spend them in cannons. Not in butter. But it is butter that provides social peace. Not the cannons.

Also note: no more money for World Bank to buy good behavior around the world... Also keep in mind those Sovereign Funds trillions...
