You don't have to talk tough when everyone agrees you're the alpha.


No one disputes the US is still the alpha. Militarily, a motivated US would still kick the shit out of any other single country. We only become threatened when multiple foreign powers start seeing us as a threat and we have to fight them all alone. Leading the western coalition is a good thing for the US. Perhaps the relationship needed a reset where the US demands more from its allies, but having that reset established, its time to welcome back our friends and re-establish the mantle of leader in the world. Putin, Xi, and Kim don't fear the US in isolation. They fear a united world lead by the US where they have no choice but to go along grudingly.
