The United States as an overcommitted power

Is the United States a declining white power, and why?

He rejects that framing and calls the United States divided and overcommitted, with weakened allied capacity increasing the burden on American power.

The United States has deep resources and capable people, so simple decline is the wrong description. Domestic division complicates decisions about when and where to engage abroad. The country is also overcommitted because allies allowed capabilities to atrophy while expecting American power to fill the gaps. NATO was stronger when several members could handle most regional threats themselves.
