The United States faces colossal internal and external threats to its security, stability and prosperity. All the theories born from the pens of theorists, diplomats and designers of the United States foreign policy are in the process of being trampled under foot. Despite the fruitful works of Brzezinski, Kissinger, Fukuyama, as well as those of many others from the Western lodge, the United States no longer has the monopoly on strategic initiative that we have clearly demonstrated in a separate article.

The US openly declares that it seeks to maintain a monopoly over shaping the “international order” following the Cold War and America’s emergence from it as the sole superpower.

Articles deliberating on the left-right divide, racial fissures, and even the possibility of a civil war in the US were widespread during Trump’s tumultuous tenure. And while a civil war did not precipitate, the world did witness a plethora of incidents that unveiled American societal fractures – most harrowing being the George Floyd protests and the Capitol Hill attacks.
