I can't understand how anyone can think that USA is doing well today, they have a national debt of $39.07 trillion that is $118,580 per capita. Their national oil reserve is at a record low since april 1983 and the Iran war going on with raising gas prices and the cost of the Iran war adding about 1 billion dollar a day to the national costs. They are alianating all their western allies and signing a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, possibly giving them opportunity to make nukes in the future, that makes you think that they might be replacing their western allies with rich Islamic dictatorships that practicing sharia laws. That's not the US I grew up with as a respected leader of the free democratic world.

It must hurt USA now when China is seen more popular then US globally. Over the past year, global public opinion has shifted significantly in favor of China over the United States. According to recent surveys, China now surpasses the U.S. in global approval ratings. In 2025, China's median approval rating reached 36%, while the U.S. stood at 31%. By mid-2026, this trend has continued, with China being viewed more positively than the U.S. in most countries surveyed. For example, in a Pew Research Center survey of over 42,000 people across 36 countries, China is now seen more favorably in the majority of these nations, and confidence in Chinese leadership has risen compared to U.S. leadership. The U.S. leads China in only six of the 36 countries surveyed, marking a notable reversal from previous years ​⁠. Additionally, the Democracy Perception Index 2026 placed the U.S. with a net perception score of -16%, below both Russia (-11%) and China (+7%), indicating a broader decline in U.S. global standing for the second consecutive year ​⁠.

I don't know where US is going, first Trump accept a "free" very expensive airplane from Qatar and now signs a nuclear deal with US helping Saudi Arabia to start a nuclear program that could possibly give Saudi Arabia nuclear weapons in the future. Both these countries are Islamic dictatorships that practice sharia laws. Are these the new allies US is aiming for in the future since it has lost its former allies in the west?
