Foreign Affairs: The United States is a disabling superpower in the face of its opponents
The Foreign Affairs called the United States the “Disruptive Superpower”.
In a report published, the Foreign Affairs asked whether “a divided America can deter China and Russia?”, pointing to the weak ability of the United States to respond to the security challenges currently imposed on it.
The United States now faces more serious threats to its security than it has faced in decades, and perhaps ever before, explaining that Washington has never faced four allied adversaries at the same time, namely Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, and they are the powers that can Within a few years, its collective nuclear arsenal will be “almost twice its size”.
The change taking place in what the United States is currently facing, as since the Korean War it hasn’t had to deal with powerful military competitors in both Europe and Asia, and no one can remember a time when its opponent enjoyed the same amount of economic, scientific, technological and military power as it did, which China enjoys it today.
At the same moment when accelerating international events require a strong and coherent response from the United States, the magazine stressed that Washington’s problem is that it cannot provide such a response.
The failure of the fractured American political leadership, emphasizing the sharp differences between the Republican and Democratic blocs in the White House and Congress, and indicating a failure to convince a sufficient number of Americans that developments in China and Russia are important.
US political leaders failed to explain how the threats these countries pose to the United States were interconnected, and they also failed to formulate a long-term strategy to ensure US victory on a broader scale.
The United States finds itself in a treacherous and unique position, unable to muster the necessary unity and strength in confronting its opponents, and that success in deterring leaders such as the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, and the Russian President, Vladimir Putin.
It depends on the certainty of commitments and the consistency of the response.
The dysfunction of the US administration made American power erratic and unreliable, becoming a dysfunctional administration.
