Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director William Burns has admitted that the United States has lost its undisputed superiority on the world stage.
He said in an article for Foreign Affairs.
“The rise of China and Russia’s revanchism are serious geopolitical challenges in a world of intense geopolitical competition, in which the United States no longer has unchallenged superiority,” the publication said.
According to Burns, the situation for the US is complicated by the technological revolution currently underway. The head of the CIA called it larger than the industrial revolution.
Earlier, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that the United States had lost its economic leadership.
