I told you so.

China have overtaken the U.S. militarily and economically –
No war with China could be won; much less, decisively – rendering any of the all but diminished, so-called “military superiority” (that has been long sloganeered by the trillion-tax-payer-dollars per annum thieving M.I.C.), at best, anachronistic; at worst, nihilistic. B.R.I.C., BNR etc., are the horsemen of the U.S. economy’s apocalypse – itself nullifying any possible pew-pew out of insolvency that the Yosemite yanks might consider as a last recourse
Russia have furthered their ‘Eurasia’ bent to the point fait accompli –
Putin’s cozying-up to Xi has created an ‘axis’ that can no longer be broken up by any U.S.-Zionist capitalistic ideological force. The Russians are well familiar with the machinations of the U.S. and have become exceedingly good at countering them; while China have watched and learnt with Confucian-esque cogitation. Thus, the old tricks of the past will no longer work on these two adversaries; as Amerimutts are nothing if not stubborn, old dogs.
The U.S. is abrogating its responsibilities as a beacon of democracy et al. –
Be it abdication from U.N. Human Rights Council, just as the U.S. cages children and laughs off Israeli Zionists’ genocidal gesticulations, or the fomentation of internecine trade wars with generational allies – the isolationism of the U.S. has made itself a pariah state. This, only 18-months after the Trumpian overthrow – which, in the context of how hamstrung the canard-crooner-in-cheeseburger was for the best part of his initial 12-month squat over the Shite House (due to his own surprise at underestimating the abject degree of Amerimutt voter idiocy), is a historically “unpresidented” rollicking rate of withdrawal and, indeed, decline.
The U.S. is a tribal, riven society, that is still split by in pre “Civil War” era schisms –
The Koreas are arguably closer to peace, than the notional Mason-Dixon Line is from being erased. If it’s not the denial of the true motivations for the U.S. Civil War (spoiler: tariff robbery of the economically thriving, agricultural South, by the economic basket case, industrial North), then it’s the approaching crescendo of the racially divisive din that has deaved the nation to anything approaching common sense–harking back to the [circa] Trans-Atlantic slave era.
Europe powers (namely: Germany) are stepping up to fill the capacious sofa imprint left by the lurching departure of the corpulent U.S. –
The U.S. take a contrary and oft backwards stance on so many global tropes – global warming; universal basic income; Iran; Israel – that virtually any E.U. member looks like a more auspicious choice for the [free] world to march behind, than the corrupt whip hand we have been welt riddled by since the desinence of World War II.
The U.S. is following a flowchart course towards imperial oblivion, and seems utterly (albeit, unsurprisingly – given its abundance of ill- and under-educated, reality and junk food f̶e̶d̶ poisoned populace) blind to its path to oblivion –
*R̶o̶m̶e̶ (U.S.A.); N̶e̶r̶o̶ (“Trump™”); d̶e̶c̶a̶d̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ (capitalism); p̶a̶n̶e̶m̶ (“great again”); c̶i̶r̶c̶e̶n̶s̶e̶s̶ (democracy); f̶i̶r̶e̶ (debt); V̶i̶s̶i̶g̶o̶t̶h̶s̶ (China; Russia); “C̶h̶r̶i̶s̶t̶o̶s̶” (Pence; evangelicals); J̶e̶w̶s̶ (Zionists); n̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶a̶l̶ a̶n̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ (lute fiddling); and… *
***There is a moral of all human tales.
'Tis but a rehearsal of the past.
First Freedom, then Glory – and when that fails,
Wealth, vice, corruption – barbarism at last¹.
And History, with all Her volumes vast,
Hath but one page.***
(Canto IV)

As such, I think the rational, prudent world should have started prepping for a post-U.S. hegemony world, perhaps a decade or more ago. Those still banking on the 'mutts to do the right thing, after having tried everything else, are about to have their hot hand fallacy folded for them more abruptly than “G.F.C.” suckers had their mortgages default – losing not only their houses in the process, but their children’s futures too.
I tried to warn the plebe masses for years… But all anyone with good intensions ever got in return for their efforts was the RAR! RAR! echo chamber cacophony of jingoistic, jello-brained chimp chatter. Well, here we are now, on the precipice of the care-taker ad hoc empire’s humiliating or (from a certain point of view) hilarious collapse, and I think I am finally entailed to a meagre, self-congratulatory ’I told you so’…
