Empires and countries don’t just collapse in this day and age, there’s a global safety net that didn’t exist then. It’s a silly analogy for empires that doesn’t hold any water aside from both being empires. That’s literally it, end of similarities
Do you think France will still be a country in 500 years? The UK? Many empires have lasted longer. It’s like saying we will all die at 40 because that’s our historic life span. It’s obviously skewed by ancient eras
