Despite the uncertainty, the US has retained its position as the most geopolitically powerful nation in the world, according to Henry Jackson Society (HJS), which has released the latest edition of its “Audit of Geopolitical Capability: A Comparison of Eight Major Powers” study.

“Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent, to relieve the oppressed, and to punish the oppressor, then it becomes a great blessing.” – Jonathan Swift
