The US is losing its world superpower status due to its failure to lead on the Covid-19 crisis and this time, it might not recover
As exemplified by the coronavirus pandemic, the end of US hegemony is less to do with economics and military strength and everything to do with Trumps inability to cope with a real global crisis
The US may be reaching its Chernobyl moment as it fails to lead in combating the coronavirus epidemic. As with the nuclear accident in the Soviet Union in 1986, a cataclysm is exposing systemic failings that have already weakened US hegemony in the world. Whatever the outcome of the pandemic, nobody is today looking to Washington for a solution to the crisis.

I really doubt it, unless things spiral out of control.

Because things are so under control right now.....

We certainly haven't been tackling this disaster like a greatest country in the world.

It is insane how people in the west want the US to fail. People don't understand that the US is the thing defending them from China and Russia being their overlords. What we are seeing in the US is what was expected and it has been controlled for the most part. For people to legitimately act like China and places in Africa when there is obviously scrubbing of numbers and no testing going on is so disingenuous. Not to mention ignoring population when comparing it to European countries doing much worse.

This is coming from a news site? Shoot, they ain't worth listening to anyway

US Hasn't been a super power for a decade or more now, it's a complete circus, and at the head of it is some fucking incompetent clown.

We suddenly lost our military? All our nukes?

I dont think people understand what actually makes a super power

would the US and Trump just let this outbreak slide? and accept that 'nobody' is really responsible for the west's downfall?

Has our military might decreased in some capacity I'm not aware of? Becuase otherwise it seems to me you're are just making up a bunch buillshit criteria that isnt even relevant in that regard.

But if the world wants us to lose that status then fine, we arent the ones with anything to fear from Russia or china.

Historically speaking, Chinese unipolarity has been the rule, not the exception.

---

Every empire in history has fallen and I don't doubt that the USA will to a certain degree eventually.
I think we are witnessing the beginning at the moment. The country is tearing itself apart from the inside and now you've got a pretty incapable guy leading the way through the biggest crisis the planet has seen in a long time. Could all spell disaster, especially because it doesn't look like Americans are really learning.

---

Eh yeah maybe but our military still kicks major ass. The reality is that a lot of liberal countries like Sweden don't have to spend a lot on their military because of our presence in the world. That isn't changing. They might laugh at us now but if a third world war happens we will gain our respect back pretty fast.

I said this would happen when the first cases were being reported and the president was essentially denying its existence.
