But is America still in a position to lead? China’s power and wealth are now greater than ever before. And the US is profoundly weakened, by failed wars overseas and failed politics at home. As the two superpowers drift further into geopolitical confrontation, US allies in Europe face a fateful choice: do they go all-in with America, or do they try to hedge their bets by keeping strong relations with China? It’s a choice that will have massive consequences for the future of America in the world. Because how can it lead, if nobody will follow? DW Chief International Editor Richard Walker meets some of the world’s leading experts on international relations and US politics, and asks Angela Merkel herself: why does she seem so reluctant to embrace American leadership?

Russia is "openly hostile" and "flexing it's muscles" whereas the US is just "entangle in conflicts". It's a distortion of reality 27 keeping up keeping up 5 hours ago So we can say afghanistan contributed to toble another empire then 27 João Pedro Meireles João Pedro Meireles 2 hours ago A Democratic question: Who has elected the US to the ruler os the world?

Does he mean in the US or globally? Neither seem to fit. The US certainly doesn't fight for those principles at home or abroad. The west unleashes constant wars, we all know are unnecessary and in many cases illegal. We are not under attack, but constantly at war. China isn't. We have some of the highest lack of equality in the world and western led global capitalism enforces extreme inequality and human right abuses across the globe. Global capitalism under western leadership has not alleviated poverty world wide, but made it worse. 90% of poverty elimination over the past few decades has occurred in one country... China. They better stop sounding so sanctimonious because it sounds ridiculous even as westerner myself! Imagine what people around the world think, who have endured the costs of "western freedoms" for decades 33 Wan Wan 4 hours ago "Our nations are merely just sandcastles on a beach, ... only the tides are forever." 30 Paul Alexandrescu Paul Alexandrescu 4 hours ago I'm happy to see Europe stand up and do its own choices, choices that make sense for us europeans.
