Your statement that the fall of the US "global superpower" began in #1971 with the end of the #gold standard is interesting. There are certainly many factors that have contributed to the relative decline of US power in recent decades, including:
* The rise of #China and other emerging economies
* The end of the Cold #War and the collapse of the Soviet Union
* The Iraq War and other foreign policy debacles
* Domestic political polarization and gridlock
* Rising economic inequality
* Declining trust in institutions
The end of the gold standard in 1971 was a significant event, as it marked the end of a system that had been in place for centuries. It also led to a period of high inflation and economic uncertainty. However, it is difficult to say definitively whether the end of the gold standard was a primary cause of the decline of #US power.
It is also worth noting that the Roman Empire declined and fell over a period of centuries, while the US has only been a global superpower for a few decades. It is therefore possible that the US will be able to maintain its superpower status for many years to come, even if its relative power declines.
Ultimately, the future of the US as a global superpower is uncertain. There are many factors that could contribute to its decline, but there are also many factors that could help it to maintain its status. Only time will tell what the future holds.
