When the Superpower Becomes the Spoiler
Viewing the U.S. from the outside, I often wonder if others see what I see — not a global role model, but increasingly a cautionary tale. Rather than setting a standard for leadership and responsibility, the U.S. today resembles more of a spectacle, marked by political dysfunction and a culture that often prizes drama and self-importance over substance. Economically, it continues to exploit its position as the world's largest economy, weaponizing the dollar and engaging in unchecked fiscal expansion and quantitative easing, all while dismissing the long-term consequences for the global system. As the U.S. derails multilateral trade norms and leans on its currency's dominance with growing complacency, I suspect many nations — especially those that have acted with more fiscal discipline and accountability — are increasingly questioning whether the U.S. still deserves its seat at the helm of global progress.
