yeah, i don't think there is a way back from here. it would need several consecutive acts of god or a statesman of augustus octavianus' caliber. there is simply too much mismanagement to undo, economy is too much of a bubble to seriously compete and lets just face it, the population is too retarded to build a great power on. niggers and mexicans with zero loyalty to the state, brainwashed and jaded zoomers and millennials, troons, feminists, all sorts of cultish degenerate shit, boomers who think its 1970 and the us should act accordingly and so on. not to mention too much institutional and operational inertia. the spreading of ideology was literally the cornerstone of american diplomacy for the past 200 years and they have simply no idea or even concept how to backtrack on it to compete with the dry chinese realpolitik of just trading with everyone and building infrastructure everywhere. no us ambassador in the world could ever realize that people don't care about gays and troons that much
