This is hyperbolic.
There's more to the world than the USA. And even during the first Dark Ages, scientific progress didn't cease globally. Just in Europe.
There was quite a lot of progress in mathematics and science in the Middle East during the so-called Dark Ages.
Of course, it wasn't meant as an accurate prediction, more an expression of sentiment.
Ha, no its not.
The united states will use its considerable economic power to influence elections and laws globally. It already does it africa.
Europe is next.

South America and Central America have already had their day of being deeply fucked by USA military, CIA, and policies, long ago. Don't know if that'll come back again, but likely not.
