    Now we’re back in the shit of slow imperial decline when it could have been ripped off in one swoop.

    Even if the global south launched then won WW3 with an overwhelming victory, it would not eliminate imperialism, since that is the necessary result of monopoly capitalism and uneven development in the world. The “slow” method is the only way to eliminate the material basis of imperialism.

    Now we won’t get that because all of our allies sat on their hands

    This is quite an odd way of thinking about things, since there is a lot more to geopolitics than enthusiastically triggering WW3 at the first opportunity.
