New York Times: As its hegemonic status declines, the United States faces a choice: to build a more equitable multipolar world with emerging countries or to pursue an expensive and fragile power?
Power is a more addictive thing than drugs. The United States is used to power, how could it choose to share power with other countries and build a more fair multipolar world with emerging countries?
The New York Times criticizes Trump for choosing to pursue an expensive and fragile power, but in fact, whoever becomes the president would make the same choice as Trump. The greater the power, the greater the inertia. When power gradually declines, the huge inertia train will carry the United States forward until it no longer has the ability to control the world, and then it will give up the pursuit of power.
