In 276AD, emperor Diocletian split the Roman empire in 2 for better management.
Now the western empire US and EU are facing the same problems as Romans in 276AD: barbarians at the border in Ukraine, succession crisis in US, decline of traditional religious beliefs.
Will the western alliance split? Will the western Europe asume leadership for realtion with Russia and Middle East ?
It happened before when western countries allied to contain autocrats who become too powerful like Lou's 14, Carol 5, and Napoleon.
But what it will be with US ?
They are still isolated geographically by 2 oceans, Mexico is still a problem but not big enough
Usually the civil war in Rome appeared when it was safety at the border, leadership was weak, there was enough money to loot for paying legionnaires.
Without rejuvenation of political class, the people will be attry towards extremist politics
