just to point out, America losing may not be the power win you’re looking for.
for the last 80-ish years the world has followed a fairly peaceful dynamic that was maintained through the force of American government. any country that decided to rebel against that control ultimately forced their citizens to pay the price.
not saying America was right, or it was moralistic correct. just pointing out that peace mostly reigned in around 95% of those 80 years.
also, what do you think happens when a globally significant powerhouse of a government collapses leaving a crater the size of the planet gaping open for any power to fill?
Hopefully, a lesson learned by all of humanity. That domination always leads to destruction. That we NEED to live together in peace rather than perpetual war
We see the last 80 years through different lenses. I remember the Vietnam War - and the haunted souls that came home from it. And Afghanistan. And all the other non-wars since WW2.
