Abstract: The article from Foreign Affairs discusses the paradox of American power, highlighting the country's internal dysfunction while maintaining global dominance. Despite domestic challenges such as political polarization and economic disparities, the United States remains a resilient economic powerhouse with significant global influence. The article emphasizes the structural strengths of the United States, including its vast land, dynamic demographics, and decentralized political institutions, which contribute to its economic and military power. It also warns against the dangers of adopting a narrative of decline, urging the U.S. to balance its ambitions with resources to maintain global stability and security. [Extracted from the article]
