Sounds like your only metric is military strength? Then sure, the US dominates, though it pays a lot for that privilege.

US just showed the world its military strength.

It couldn’t open the straits and begged for help from is ‘weak’ ‘allies’.

Europe wouldn’t have been all that impressed.

There are a lot of metrics, take your pick. But if you can't obtain reliable supplies of energy and other critical resources then none of the other metrics matter.

  • Oh, like the 2021 Texas power crisis? Or the ongoing water shortages in the western part of the US?
