“The US doesn’t have allies??” The US has prob created the best alliance system the world has ever seen. The US is not about to collapse. It may be on the decline. But this kind of decline will be slow and gradual.
Russia is perhaps china’s strongest potential ally.
The US is likely realizing many of its allies are a variation of 1) forced via vassal status 2) economic reliance 3) military equipment/support. China's rise is chipping away at the US monopoly on 2+3. To paraphrase a recent speech by Xi, he said to the affect of "every country is independent , its culture, society and rule of law should be respected... countries can work together to ensure peace etc". Paraphase a recent Bliken quote "Every country must follow the liberal american order". If you were a patriot of a country, which ideology sounds better? Even some american patriot who follow the original intent of the constitution would likely prefer the non-world intervention version.
