WRITING in the Wall Street Journal, Walter Russell Mead is the latest in a long line of cheerleaders for American global leadership to maintain that, no matter how it might look, America is not in decline.

Additionally, this generation of Americans have mismanaged their country, that they are now in a position that they must take debt from the Communists of China. The generation before lived and believed, that Communists are an economical malaise which ultimately will fall.

Yes, academics have been writing books about the decline of the US as a world power since the early 1980's. The US has only become more dominant since.

It appears you suffer from intellectual masochism: a condition in which people have an irrepressible urge to make themselves look like fools.
