Decline

Kaiser

Joseph Roth's "Radetzky March" adapted for the theater, yesterday in Burgtheater, Vienna, directed by Johan Simons.
One of the highlights was Johann Adam Oest as "der Kaiser".
Can the decline of the Austrian-Hungarian empire be compared to the decline of the European Union or let's say the Western word order? Every empire ends someday, but I don't believe that the Apocalypse is as nearby as some people tend to believe.
