We have been abdicating since early in the last administration. First as a tentative but flowery nice nice abdication, now as a mercurial & occasionally acidic and unreliable partner.

Short version is we are not reliable. Our policy swings between political bends increase, our stability decreases, our financial stability is in wane, and our politicians spend far too much.

Our overseas partners often base their security on our blood, sweat, and greenbacks. Others like China are ramping up to take us out of the tops spot while we rearrange the deck chairs.
