I agree, however the unipolar world ceased to exist a while ago. My take on what we are witnessing is that the US finally acknowledges that what has worked in the unipolar world won’t work in the one we have.
What does this even mean? The world was working just fine before a nutjob with an axe to grind with the west decided to invade its democratic neighbor.
The world was not "working just fine". It _appeared_ to be "working just fine" but it isn't.
Take a look at U.S. shipbuilding capacity, U.S. military equipment maintenance, and the defense industrial base that is maintaining the _appearance_ of the powerful status quo. This isn't unique to the U.S., the same is happening in Russia.
Turns out it costs a _lot_ of money to keep this charade up for everyone.
