It's someone else's turn now. Whoever it is (China?), I wish them the best of luck and I warn them to try to do what is best for all, in addition to what they think is the best for their own people. The biggest mistake of a superpower is to be selfish. The spread of globalization and it's various connections to econemy and politics make it impossible to go it alone anymore.
It's good that we won't be the dominant world power anymore. I'd like to see a reorganization of miliraty (and military funding) in order to be more for defence and less for offence. I see no reason to have so very many bases in other countries. I haven't seen my cousin in 3 years because he's been stationed at several bases that are on the other side of the world.
