America: a paper tiger in decline

Post

|

April 23, 2025

AMERICA is nothing more than a paper tiger and a champion of nothing.

- ZAYNAB NAUSHAD KHAN

For the past 50 years, it has tried to instil in the minds of the world that it is the strong, dominant, and unshakable superpower.

This narrative has been the main motivation for America to engage in conflicts with weaker nations, allowing it to appear strong through these confrontations. However, America has never dared to engage in a conflict with a peer superpower. In other words, America's power has never truly been tested.

Therefore, the idea that America is a superpower is, in fact, greatly exaggerated and deliberately inflated a narrative that has served certain elites and influential figures.

America has consistently sought to reinforce this illusion by showcasing its strength against weak nations. But reality tells a different story. In fact, America suffers from numerous internal problems that disqualify it from being a true superpower.

What makes America appear powerful is not its own strength but rather the silence and lack of real competition from others like China, Russia, and Europe.
