In a certain respect, I think this can be correct, but why the fuck is Italy part of the chain? Greece would make more sense.

That said, I generally view the fall of vassal states as a consequence of the failing imperial core rather than a cause. Israel, Taiwan, SK, all I think are going to hang on until the imperial world order crumbles for other reasons.

I think France falling before Germany and the US falling last among the core is potentially accurate, but the UK is basically a US vassal like Australia and Canada are, so again I think it would slightly outlive the US, all the more likely for being Anglo (whereas the ones previously mentioned other than Israel have a little more reason to oppose white supremacy).

Italy has the second largest heavy industry behind germany, it hosts a lot of very significant NATO military bases, it has an large fleet, it is very active in meddling in Africa. Just because they pissy on the Germans during 2008, doesn't mean its without claws or bite.

They may not be a military powerhouse or anything, but Italy is pretty influential in the Medierranean. One of the main GLADIO countries

Fair point. Besides the US, I was mostly thinking of economics (hence France, which is more reliant on colonies, falling before domestic manufacturing giant Germany) and how Italy is kind of imploding anyway with their farce Mussolini.
