Which Country Will Be the Next Global Superpower? (It's not the US)

The Next Global Superpower Isn't Who You Think

I'm not going to lie—being a first-generation, born-in-the-United-States Afro-Latina, all I’ve ever known is the U.S. as a superpower. And let’s be real—you don’t even have to live here to know that. For decades, that’s been the sentiment worldwide.

And let’s not even get started on China. They went from a third-world country to a global powerhouse in just ONE generation. Yes, in our lifetime! But here’s the thing: law is law. As it states, “The measure of the pendulum swing to the right is the measure of the pendulum swing to the left.” In other words, what goes up must come down. We’re watching it happen in real-time.

The U.S. economy and constitution are declining rapidly, and China’s future isn’t looking much better with its environmental crises and aging population.

Today is a new day. New global powers are rising. The question is, which one is the next Global Superpower? Let’s break it down.👇🏽
