I'm pretty sure the Romans would disagree; they lost pretty much everything to a string of incompetent emperors, a weakening economy, internal politics, crappy civil administration, to name but a few problems.
The US seems to be proving that those who ignore history are indeed doomed to repeat it.
Sure but the Persians and Chinese and Most of Africa and and .... didn't care at all while the Goths and some of Gaul and others positively celebrated.
USA is intent on destroying the whole planet -trees and seas included.
The Goths didn't just celebrate, they took advantage, emigrated to Empire land and took it over, along with the Huns etc, while the Angles, Saxons etc moved in on Britain, and created what is now England - on land they stole from the people now known as the Welsh.
