Okay but the world can have more than one empire at a time? This seems like a non sequitur.
But this is a non sequitur because I never said the world could only have one empire at a time. I pointed out the limited extent of the US's period of dominance and nothing else.
Then why isn't he period before the fall of the USSR being counted as American Empire?
Because it was just a few decades between the end of WW2 and the fall of the USSR
Okay, and I understand your broader point, but do you see why that's a non sequitur?
