The United States has been mismanaging the global system, and through its democracy-promotion programs it has brought no peace but only damage and destruction. The never ending conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan should have been an awakening for the world, but the smoke screen of \u201chumanitarian intervention\u201d helped the US with a free escape from accountability. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the US\u2019s decline looks pretty convincible. What Blackwill and Wright\u2019s strategy fails to recognize is that the US has a broken political system and on top of that the public\u2019s sense of distrust is increasing. Trump\u2019s government and its \u201cAmerica First\u201d foreign policy has made the loopholes more visible by being more overtly racist than ever before, which is giving China a good opportunity to spread its influence. There remains a broad desire for credible US leadership, but for that they need to move beyond the narrative of US primacy and take the approach of sharing power and responsibility. As an example, the authors question the US imposing itself as the guardian of Persian Gulf oil when it mainly goes to China, Japan and India.<\/span><\/p><p><br \/><b>By:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Saima Rashid, CIGA Research Assistant<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Mathew Burrows, Robert A.
