Geopolitics > American hegemony declining around the world

 

‘America worried’ as Iran, China, Russia, North Korea

team up to challenge its dominance


America under the Biden administration has lost its dominance and become a global laughing stock. If there was ever an opportune time for America’s worst enemies to strengthen their relations and challenge America, they saw that it was during the tenure of a mentally incompetent president and his defunct administration.

It is telling that a Muslim Democrat mayor, Ameer Ghalib of Hamtramck, Michigan has endorsed Trump for president against Kamala Harris. Trump stated of Ghalib in a Breitbart exclusive:

He was a very big fan of the Trump administration because he saw no wars — outside of defeating ISIS…There was no October 7. There was no Russian attack on Ukraine…and he told me — he saw a world that was at peace. Now, we have a world that’s going to end up in World War 3 and I can stop that. I’m the only one that’s going to stop that.”

US Worries Deepen as Adversaries Team Up to Challenge Dominance

by Natalia Drozdiak and Augusta Saraiva, BNN Bloomberg, September 22, 2024:

(Bloomberg) — For months, the US has warned Iran not to send ballistic missiles to Russia and told China not to provide military components for Moscow’s war in Ukraine. 

But Iran is now doing just what Washington said not to and China is pushing the line. Indeed, the US and its allies are increasingly worried by the speed and intensity with which the three, along with North Korea, are deepening ties to challenge American dominance despite facing some of the most sweeping sanctions the West has ever imposed, according to officials who asked not to be identified discussing matters that are not public.

The defiance fits a pattern of what outside experts — and increasingly, US and allied officials — see as the growing struggle Washington faces as its seeks to get what it wants around the world.

The examples, they say, are legion.

Venezuela’s authoritarian leader brushed aside a months-long US push for free and fair elections and remains in office after a vote widely seen as rigged. A Washington-led naval coalition has so far failed to lift a Houthi rebel chokehold that’s crippled shipping in the Red Sea. Washington and its allies have been pushed out of bases in Africa as China and Russia expand their reach. Beijing has only stepped up its aggression in the South China Sea….
