My infant hypothesis, based somewhat or in part on the opinions of others and mostly ignorant as it's, is that Rome over extended and could not manage
everything. This caused the bottom to fall out, just like how a building will collapse if it's not properly constructed. It's just as possible then as
it's now, so yes, modern empire can fall.
It could be the product of pride but it can also be ignorance, perhaps both.
