Too arrogant, too complacent, too afraid of competition, too much dependence on sanctioning instead of taking up challenges, losing foreign talents due to racial bias, too fixated on an education system just churning out lawyers, accountants and doctors and forgetting about the hard sciences and engineering, and most of all looking down on Chinamen, which was its greatest mistake.
How did cooks and laundrymen become so strong in engineering and science is something the USA did not foresee, despite its top-of-the line spy network and intelligence. And everything today depends on scientists and engineers in the age of technology. The USA is talking about changing its education system now, by going back to basics and starting from the bottom.
China had and is already training kindergarten kids in skills the USA would never expect. In the USA, parents would be up in arms about their kids going through the system in such a manner. No, other people will have to continue to produce the things that the USA wants, and the USA only wants to print toilet papers in exchange. That is going to end soon. The USA dream is under siege.

It is believing in their own lies that is destroying the country.
The USA had been playing with boomerangs for decades and never seems to learn to be humble. If the EU break ranks with the USA, the USA is really going to be truly isolated. Canada is joining the EU in trade. There is now a rude awakening around the free world, which I thought would never happen. Europe is looking for a new leader of the free world. That is truly crass to say the least. How things are changing within the just the last couple of weeks.
In other words, the USA is going to be left with maybe seven Asian allies to play around with - India, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. They can now form the new G8 to fight against BRICS.
Truth be said, the exercise of 'exceptionalism' is no longer the prerogative of the USA. Untouchable in the past, it now looks fragile, fragmented and tottering.
It is really surprising that Karma is indeed working, but in mysterious ways.
