The late great America has no one but itself to blame for a chaotic world. Few are trying to fix the broken American moral compass but it may be too little and too late! The world is on a precipice and about to plummet into darkness, from which it might never emerge! America has been the world's ray of hope, but now it is dying from self-inflicted wounds.

The obsession with vacant topics has shoved the world into chaos! All the while, America is turning into an impotent nation, unable to care for the needy or support freedom. America has squandered its influential capital on insignificant issues such as:

• Trump Derangement Syndrome
• Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity
• Homosexual Rights
• Anti-Parent Genital Mutilation of Their Children
• Empty Racism
• Global Climate Change Hoax
• Unborn Baby Murder

Many Americans don’t care about those vain issues but are forced to endure them by forced government mandates thereby, there has been a significant global leadership vacuum, creating an intense focus on power grabs at the international scale. 

It seems the United States has forgotten its duty to defend the weak and promote freedom at home and around the globe. Because of this void, autocratic governments have been able to thrive, putting nations like Ukraine at the forefront of unrestrained aggression. Countries suffering under oppressive regimes, whether in the Middle East, Asia, or Africa, look to America for leadership, but in response, it either remains silent or fails to take meaningful action.

Once seen as the leader of the world, the United States is now on the verge of being helpless and impotent, filled with weakness and confusion. There is cause for concern that America is not acting forcefully in the face of rising authoritarianism, aggressive actors on the international scene, and a collapsing international hope. Political capital has been wasted on divisive home issues like identity politics, baseless claims of racism, and cultural warfare like gender identity and LGBT rights, diverting the nation from confronting urgent global dangers. Nations like China and Russia have taken advantage of this opportunity to challenge US dominance, bringing the globe closer to an impending collapse.

Lost power abroad and a lack of focus at home are silently killing tens of millions of good people who once relied on guidance from America, the shining light on the hill.

For many years, people regarded the United States as the world's guardian of freedom and democracy, capable of uniting international alliances to fend against threats. Nevertheless, America's priorities have changed recently. Rather than strengthening its position internationally, the nation has invested heavily in internal ideological conflicts such as campaigns for diversity, inclusion, and equity.

America has forgotten its global responsibilities in favor of these concerns. Two instances of how other countries have profited from America's diversion are the ascent of China and the reappearance of an assertive Russia. While the United States has grown embroiled in internal disputes over what many see to be fruitless culture wars, both have taken major steps to undermine the global order.

China, Russia, and the end of American dominance are now in sight, and it’s not a pretty scene! It is abundantly evident from the latest alerts issued by MI6 Chief Richard Moore and CIA Director Bill Burns that the world order is in grave danger. In a joint opinion piece, the two spy chiefs emphasized how China's ascent to global superpower status and Russia's invasion of Ukraine fundamentally threaten the world's stability. These events signal a shift from the relative calm and prosperity enjoyed since the end of the Cold War under American hegemony.

Many people viewed Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 as a direct challenge to Western influence. Moscow has openly questioned whether American leadership on the international scene can last, buoyed by years of perceived American weakness. President Vladimir Putin and other Russian leaders have frequently declared that American hegemony is ending and a new multipolar world, in which no single nation has a dominant position, is about to emerge.

In the interim, China has been significantly expanding its global presence. Beijing is now the primary geopolitical threat of the twenty-first century because of its strong economy, cutting-edge technology, and military prowess. However, China has been able to forge alliances, expand its influence in areas like Southeast Asia and Africa, and challenge the United States on the international scene with minimal opposition.

Worldwide chaos and the bipolar world will yield power to the dark forces behind them! Burns and Moore both stress how real and expanding the threat is to international order. Their message is unmistakable: authoritarian nations are employing disinformation, cyberattacks, and advanced technologies to challenge the established order in the contested international order that confronts the United States and its allies. One instance of these nations using the gaps in Western alliances is Russia's use of information warfare and sabotage in Europe.

Simultaneously, China's challenge to the United States has intensified because of its technological superiority, especially in fields like satellite reconnaissance and unmanned systems. Is it too late to focus on these new concerns, as stated by Burns and Moore, or have the CIA and MI6 had to rearrange their operations?

The political leadership in America doesn't appear to be able to get past its own internal distractions in order to react appropriately, even though the intelligence agencies are aware of the threats. Divisive cultural conflicts have sapped its once-unanimous desire to lead the world in opposition to dictatorship. This inward shift has given foes more confidence and made it difficult for America to portray the moral authority it once possessed.

A perilous path is what America is on, and if not corrected, it will force America to plunge into utter darkness, from which it may never recover. The world is about to plummet down a precipice into danger from which it might never emerge because America, the example of freedom, has died from self-inflicted wounds.

Final Word: We grow crops that feed the world. We protect helpless nations from dictatorial dominance. We provide medical and technical assistance to emerging nations. We accept legal immigration from every nation. We used to proudly proclaim, “We have freedom; come and enjoy it." However, that freedom is rapidly evaporating, leaving behind a dry desert filled with the bleached bones of liberty.

If all these elements were to disappear, what would fill the vacuum? Feeding would lead to starvation. Helplessness turns into totalitarianism, and without medical or technical assistance, disease and the dark ages will return.

Yes! We are a blessed nation for now, but soon, if We the People, don’t correct the direction America is heading, we will have nothing left but the Death Valley of bygone years of glory.
