Am I wrong to think that China has overtaken the US as a world power already? Like they aren projecting said power with military bases but is that really necessary? I'd say they really solidified the overtake during covid but there are people here that know more than me.
In all aspects but militarily, yes. Although there's an open question into just how effective the US military is considering they've just been stringing together Ls since Korea
The US military can't win wars, but it can kill a ton of people and destroy a country's economy, which is enough that world leaders will still be wary of attracting its attention.
