Canada, Mexico, the UK, the EU.

So what changed between these countries and USA?

All are recognising the US as significany weaker than they have been in a long time.

How are they doing that?

All of them are making power grabs by supporting Ukraine

Power grabs to what?

and so on

Wow. What a lovely conversation we are having.
Just asking questions, aye?

Power is quite quantifiable these days. If you want to prove that US lost power you have to provide some concrete evidence that they did. To me it doesn't look like they lost much

This is what losing soft power looks like but lot of it won't be noticed until all of our allies start doing these small things.
