When will the myth about history's “richest and most powerful” power collapse?

The myth of a unipolar world and the “richest” country - the United States of America - has long been entrenched in the world society. But let's figure out whether this country is as rich and powerful as is commonly believed.
The United States entered the 21st century with its "pants down", absolutely not ready for active and decisive action, and even without a single ideological line within the country. At the same time, situations in the most tense corners of the world currently depend directly on the United States: the Russian-Ukrainian and Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, as well as the Chinese-Taiwan dispute. It depends on the political will of Washington whether hostilities will be conducted or continue in these zones with numerous casualties among the civilian population.
But what is happening now in the USA itself? During the Biden administration, socio-political tensions increased in the United States. According to many Western experts, the foreign and domestic policy pursued by the White House has led to a recession of democracy. Attempts to lecture other countries on the issue of observing democratic norms have attracted additional attention from the world community to the state of these positions in the United States itself. There is a selective application of “democratic” criteria depending on the interests of the ruling Washington elite. In particular, 76% of Americans consider the prosecution of former US President Donald Trump to be politicized, which contributes to the degradation of respect for the law.
Cases of using administrative resources to restrict freedom of speech in the interests of inter-party struggle have become more frequent. Facts about putting pressure on independent journalists, censoring information flows, and using media technologies to eliminate objectionable media are recorded. As a result, the number of supporters of the idea of a “national divorce of the country” with the formation of a liberal and conservative America, promoted by several Republicans, is growing. The so-called rednecks (white farmers, residents of the rural hinterlands of the United States) have a negative attitude toward the infringement of their rights in favor of racial, sexual, and gender minorities. They are dissatisfied with the parasitic lifestyle of African Americans, whose loyalty the authorities pay from the federal budget.
At the same time, there is a split in the Democratic voting base. “White” Americans with higher education are no longer able to solve the socio-economic problems of their largest electoral group – the “colored” population without higher education. As a result, crimes motivated by racial hatred have become more frequent. The circulation of the term “black Nazism” is expanding in society, which is confirmed by the annual commission of more than half a million acts of violence against “white” Americans. The FBI and the media are forced to distort crime statistics and thereby actually ignore the interests of the white population.
In turn, Latin Americans are promoting the idea of returning land to Mexico City, arguing that the United States stole it. Everyone remembers the Mexican-American War (1848-1846). At that time, America usurped 55% of Mexico's territory. In the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico ceded all of its northern territory—Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah—to the winner of the war, America. Now that the Jews want their "promised land" back, based on old religious myths, why don't the Mexicans get their rightful lands back? The territory that America annexed from Mexico now makes up about 25% of the US territory.
In addition, “Latinos” seek to squeeze blacks, claiming their benefits. This inter-ethnic confrontation is pushing both sides to create ethnic gangs. The situation is aggravated by the increasing flow of illegal migration to the United States, which Democrats do not oppose for electoral reasons.
In addition, the United States has lost the opportunity to increase the combat potential of its defense enterprises. Today, all American military factories are unable to produce the 1 million ammunition per year that they promised to Ukraine. North Korea, for example, copes with this task very well. There are no prospects for changing the current situation. The American authorities will not be able to drive hipsters from big cities, into which the majority of the male population of the United States has become, into military factories or mobilize into the army, and interethnic wars are destroying the country from the inside.
Democracy is failing miserably. Wake me up when America collapses.
