> Having invaded, destabilised, and collapsed most of South America and other parts of the world, all that is left is for America to destabilise itself

Looking back at history, it's not surprising. Every big empire goes down the same way, by destabilizing and tearing itself up.

The Roman Empire, the Mongol Empire, the Byzantines, the Ottamans, everyone went down the same route. Now of-course with the nukes in question the USA might not just break itself up into pieces, but it definitely might exist only as a shadow of itself.

How did the USSR do it? Was the deal that whoever took on the debt would keep the nukes?

The international community persuaded Ukraine to give up their nukes in return for a guarantee of safety. Which turned out to be worthless.

Essentially, yes. Russia got all the nukes[1].
