China is now the world’s largest economy; measured in nominal GDP, it is the second largest, projected to surpass the US within the next few years. BRICS has overtaken the G7 in terms of economic size, and China is fast catching up in terms of science and technology. However, the fact is that the US still retains military hegemony, with its 800 overseas military bases and its extensive deployment of troops and weapons around the world.
Under the current US regime, is the possibility/probability that other states will push for and accomplish the closing of US military bases on their soil? Will it happen, if they do?
- Depends on the state lol, I would be really interested in Oceania where it is really impossible for the US to offer anything better than China, and they can't refuel stuff efficiently that far anyways. At some point the US has to accept the political loss and close some of these bases up due to the logistical burden
  
  I hope you are correct, because USA seems to never encountered the term, "pyrrhic victory."
