The tantrum is uniquely American. The stealth is everyone else. But in the end — they’re all empires.

🎭 Empire Archetypes:

🇺🇸 US: Loud, dramatic, moralizing — bombs with press conferences.

🇷🇺 Russia: Operates like a thug with a smirk — blatant but cold.

🇨🇳 China: Moves like fog — silent, slow, strategic, until the noose tightens.

🇬🇧 UK (legacy): The “retired vampire” — still licks its fangs in advisory roles.

The U.S. throws tantrums. China writes contracts. Russia sharpens knives. But they all drink blood.
