I often hear that the geopolitical power of the United States of America is primarily based on their immense military strength.
USA's global power is based on economics and international relations which are BACKED by military power. It's a triangle of power that collapses if one node disappears.

Tariffs dampens all economies.
Threatening allies weakens international relations.
Waging culture wars in the DoD weakens cohesion and military strength.
The travesty of a meeting between POTUS and Zelenskyy clearly punctuates the fact that the US power triangle is collapsing - primarily through the erosion of int. relations.
A vacuum fills up quickly - and we need to act now if we want a say in what that vacuum fills up with. Otherwise it won't be a vacuum, but another power triangle we have to compete with instead.
Europe needs to create an effective power triangle within 24-48 months. The alternative is a World War.
