Globalization is the Last Empire
The real "last empire" is neither the U.S., China, nor Russia - aka. the three Fascist pseudo-empires, which have all converged upon the same failing Ponzi-economic model, from different directions.

U.S. vs. Russia: Two Bald Men Fighting for a Comb
The amount of ink spilled over the Ukraine never ends and never ceases to amaze. It's a diversion. A red herring. It's the NeoCon equivalent of the Idiocracy's missing airliners. It's the thing that megalomaniacs focus upon while everything else turns to shit in the background. Only final collapse of globalization will reveal truly how irrelevant the Ukraine conflict is in the grand scheme of things. The only thing still "great" about both the U.S. and Russia currently, is their ability to nuke the planet into oblivion several hundred times over at a minute's notice i.e. their profoundly misplaced "God complex". Everything else is turning to shit, in real-time.

China is more leveraged to Globalization than any other country on the planet. They bet everything on the indefinite Ponzi Scheme. Their payback is a $.80 minimum wage, profit margins 1/30th of Western companies, record pollution, medieval working conditions, a life expectancy on par with Syria, trillions in unsecured foreign Ponzi debt, dozens of ghost cities, and soon-to-be-idled factories.
This is called the "last gasp":
