What other countries are rising? I mean China is an obvious one but seems to be struggling. Europe is in decline. India continues to struggle.
If anything, the US has pulled even further ahead since 1990. Back then the USSR was a near-power to the US, but has fallen significantly since then.
Since all power is relative, you’d need to see the US falling relative to another country. And right now, I don’t really see a country on that trajectory.
China is gaining power as we speak. And USA is abdicating that power. Also, Russia seems to be a big winner currently, America will help them keep parts Ukraine and prepare for another invasion.
It’s certainly an amusing thread to read, the US has more power, no it has less, China is pulling ahead, actually it’s struggling, so is India, or not.
China is not without problems and had some problems in economy. This situation allows them to get ahead, internally plausiy blame Trump even for issues that existed even before, get new aliances and power.
America is not gaining power, that part is pure wishful thinking.
