The USA ending up in the place it was in post-1945 was because the rest of the world destroyed itself across several decades in two global wars. All the U.S. has to do is take all the geopolitical hotspots, arm each side, set off a war, and then pull back and watch. We are definitely trending in this direction geopolitically between Ukraine, Iran, the respones to each, pending actions in Eastern Europe, Taiwan, all the regional wars across Africa, Venezuela, and potentially Cuba.
None of it will change the situation with China advancing. Even the attempts to gain control over the oil markets and disrupt Iranian output just had China reveal how far they are along with EV adoption and other forms of renewable energy. Even to the point they have so many EVs that they have tried to dump them off on other countries.
The U.S. just has this post-1945 view of itself in the world and it's not realistic. Much more of a geopolitical bubble similar to how a financial bubble operates.
