Pax Americana. Asia is on the rise. What we saw there was a block that stretched from Russia to central Asian states to Iran, India, and China. (Trump felt left out, apparently.)
American hegemony was kinda questionable while it lasted, though what is poised to replace it is going to be way worse, for sure.
In the meantime we're lifting vaccination mandates in one of the most populous states in the union. The streak of own goals keeps going.
