True. Although it really started under Dubya when the US lied its way to war. The cheese-eating surrender monkeys turned out to be right and US prestige was damaged.

Obama wished to be an internationalist and he was diplomatically-speaking. But on the military side of things, he came across as a bluffer whose bluff was called.

Then came Trumpty-Dumpty. And America's global reputation has been smashed to pieces. The US is seen by many as one of the populist strongman countries, along with Russia and Brazil. None of these countries truly respects or follows the rule of law any more.

Hoping for a change.

Good article.

Welcome to the Post-American World
Apr 28, 2020
CARL BILDT
Carl Bildt was Sweden’s foreign minister from 2006 to 2014 and Prime Minister from 1991 to 1994, when he negotiated Sweden’s EU accession.

With Donald Trump in the White House, the age of American global leadership is over. On the matter of America’s role in the world, Trump has practiced what he preached during his election campaign – and, since the COVID-19 pandemic began, he is practicing it with a vengeance.
