Oh jolly goddess you don’t
Military power is not taken seriously anymore! Superpowers cannot even defeat very small countries, like you guys lost against Syria, Thailand, Afganistan… The most recent example is Russia losing against Ukraine! Sure you have a lot of nukes, but almost all countries are in such alliances where through one way or another they are also protected by nukes + the international outrage if anyone used them would be so estronomical that even a deranged dictatorship like Russia doesn’t risk it
You guys spend far far far more on keeping the dollar the national currency then what you benefit from that and donnie is currently severing your trade with other countries
Your hegemony is thankfully over!I think you are really overestimating your influence! Say the world is and was very much so open to china despite your fluctuating relationship with them!
It's not just military power. We also have the CIA. We also control NATO, and we have a bunch of proxy States.
Like I agree that it is diminishing, and I agree that it is a good thing that it is diminishing. I'm just saying it's a little early to call US hegemony completely gone.
You have the cia? A small specialized police force meant for gathering intelligence of other countries…?
By controlling nato you mean being the largest force in an alliance based on self-taken obligations? How much forces does the nato send to your unjustified wars? Very superficial amount?
It is tho! Via threatening your allies you alienated them all, that monkey gave your world leading position away for nonsensical pandering to its base and for saving a few millions bucks a year
