America in Decline? World Thinks Again.

Summary

This article by Matthew Kaminski, writing for Politico, makes the following points:

• The perception of the US in decline falsely confirmed Moscow’s belief the US lacked the stomach to stand in its way in Ukraine.
• US support of Ukraine, however, has reminded friends and adversaries of America’s reach and power.
• The idea that China would succeed the US as the world’s leading power now looks highly unlikely.
