It survives only as a puppet regime, and a vicious and bloodthirsty one at that.
It's not a question of whether US hegemony will weaken, it's a question of how much carnage Washington will inflict on the world trying to hold on to it.
The British and Americans had a similar approach to hegemony. Those who disputed their claims generally were no better eg the Kaiser, Nazis, Communists, Islamists. Fighting for freedom, for freedom of trade and for a rule based order is different than fighting for territorial gain.
This war shows clearly the West defends freedom and sovereignty while it's totalitarian rivals do not.
It would be foolish for China or Russia to challenge the West. An isolationist USA divorced from its allies is a whole different ballgame however.
