it's becoming increasingly clear that the u.s. is undergoing a serious shift in its relationship with the world. this shift is showing up in several ways: 1. the gradual dismantling of interventionist tools like usaid. 2. marco rubio openly admitting that the world has moved to a multipolar structure with multiple major powers and that the post-wwii global order is not just outdated but is now being used as a weapon against the u.s. itself. 3. tariffs on so-called "allies" like mexico, canada, and the eu.
this signals the end of the u.s. trying to run the world. the message is clear: everyone is on their own now. we're just another major power, not the "indispensable nation."
