Kicking out the colonialists does not mean you are not in decline. Being a colony does not mean you are in decline.
The East is dying out so fast that it's going to give us all whiplash.
The east is not in decline. Also many african countries have kicked out the colonialists. Only Europe is declining faster than USA. A new multipolar world (not necesserilly better) is emerging. Marco Rubio also said something similar

Kicking out colonialists is the first step to sovereignity and without it you cannot exit decline. Europe is declining and declining faster than USA exactly because they (we) are USA puppets and not sovereign countries.
Marco Rubio, secretary of state in Trump administration
"So it’s not normal for the world to simply have a unipolar power. That was not – that was an anomaly. It was a product of the end of the Cold War, but eventually you were going to reach back to a point where you had a multipolar world, multi-great powers in different parts of the planet. "
I gave the link above...
Rubio is wrong. History makes it clear that there has always been a succession of superpowers. The Cold War was an anomaly caused by a temporary nuclear stalemate, but America won that decisively, once they decided to not end the world in fire.
We call "kicking out the colonists" "ethnic cleansing", when white people do it, and it rarely leads to increased prosperity.
Also... Are you telling that China or Russia will replace USA?
No, USA stays top.
Wishful thinking. USA is not on top already. That ended actually when Russia banned from swift2.
Eastern Europe stands in stark contrast to Western Europe. Over the past decade, it has become cleaner, safer, and increasingly prosperous—often surpassing its wealthier neighbors in key areas. Meanwhile, the U.S. faces a critical moment under Trump, and I hope it pulls through because the last thing we need is an authoritarian China dominating the global stage. It’s time to stop kidding ourselves about Asian competitiveness. Despite having a mixed economy, China operates with a level of capitalism that, in many ways, outpaces the American model—and the results speak for themselves.
