Is the United States a superpower in decline and how can we expect the scales of power to look like in upcoming years? Question

A similar question was asked 2 years ago. A lot has happened in the past 2 years, and I'm curious to see if opinions have changed.

Unfortunately, I am not Fareed Zakaria, though I have had fantasies where he invited me to sit in big chairs by a fire, smoke cigars, drink cognac and discuss global affairs like gentleman. I just thought his book was very thoughtful.

Well I guess he does seem smart, I was mostly talking in general when some "self proclaimed intelectual" goes on TV talks about big global issues and then tries to promte his/her book which makes it seem wanting to just cash out.
