US hegemony will never end. Everything the world is today is the result of the prosperity that the British Empire brought to the world after the Napoleonic era including the current hegemony created by the United States. In the end its a culture of polite and tolerant efficiency with the resolve to take on any foe or circumstance that grew out of centuries of conflict while gathering wisdom that was so appealing to others that it took over the world.
When we lose that culture (currently practiced by people in Western Europe, Australia/New Zealand and in North America) the world will once again become what it was before the British Empire: A never ending conflict between "kings" and warlords. If that happens, get ready for a nuclear war and true reset in the next century.
America is unironically the global policeman. It's why American naval and air power and the American system of internationalised institutions precisely like the WHO or the G20 exist in the first place, while NATO and the UN serve a figs leaf in enabling American hegemony.
So they keep the global commercial system up and running, and in doing so, ensuring the American-dominated and moderated world order is maintained. This is why China will not replace the US as the global power broker, and while they may rival or exceed the US in some aspects, they ultimately benefit from the consumerist capitalist globalist system and because of this, they will never truly eclipse the nation that has inserted itself as the ultimate fail-safe in the world order that it itself created.
For your hypothesis to work out, a federalised Europe would have to become a stronger actor on the world stage. That is a possible outcome, but not guaranteed. Europe is way too diverse and most of it's people don't want federalisation.
Furthermore, in Europe, nation states are the norm so if Europe were to federalise it will be like Northern Ireland during the Troubles but on an European scale (especially now as national leaders do NOT want to give up power; see Hungary, France, Italy etc).
Look at the EU parliament, which compared to national parliaments is weak. Yet, to appease competitive hearts, there are two locations (Strasbourg and Brussels). France's hawkish approach to West Africa largely serves their own interests. Would they sacrifice defence euros to protect Baltics if it means they need to reduce their post-colonial campaigns? I doubt not without chaotic infighting.
Germany is most concerned about it's supply chains in eastern-central Europe, and keeping export markets open. Baltic countries and Poland are terrified of Russia and want guarantees of protection from the great powers, but France and Germany are totally disinterested, and do not feel particularly threatened by Russia at all.
How could all of these different regions decide on a common foreign policy? How could they all be effectively represented by a single sovereign? Is it likely that European populations are going to willingly give up their national sovereignty to EU institutions? Having watched how they have handled the Eurozone debt crisis, the migration crisis, and the provision of vaccines for covid?
Nonsense, cultural marxism was exported by Europe to the US. The Frankfurt School was a European product. Marxism itself was created in Europe.
Even a Jew like Theodor Adorno was humiliated by the monster he created in 1960's West Germany (his research and publications was always about correlating fascism and right-wing ideology. This created the impression that ONLY right-wing ideologies were fascist, only because no one back then tried to correlate fascism to left-wing ideology).
Adorno was notoriously straight-laced, much to the chagrin of the increasingly radical leftist student body of the University of Frankfurt. In 1969, the SJW students demanded in his lecture that he engage in self-criticism and disrupted the professor. Some of this disruption involved walking up to the chalkboard and writing anti-Adorno statements, but most famously, a group of female students
took off their tops and
accosted the old man. This type of disruption shocked Adorno and he had to call the police.
When they hunted down niggers who raped and killed white women in America, the Soviets were
pimping their women to foreign leaders, you balkan roaches were
flooding Western Europe with dope, and women in Europe loved negroes so much
that they inspired them to fight for Civil Rights in America.
In fact, American military police in Germany for instance tried their hardest to stop German women from dating blacks. They would arrest any German woman they saw with a black guy and accuse them of being hookers, and even banned jazz music in clubs.
