Here are a couple of tidbits.

In addition, high school and undergrad STEM education in Russia, China, and some other countries, including Iran, is more advanced than the US. The US faces a steep uphill climb to compete.

China and Russia's corporate and military integration is more thorough than the US. In the US, discoveries filter from military application to commercial application. In Russia and China there is co-development.
While the US frets about accounting, its competitors are focused on developing and deploying real resources.
The good news is that you can't run an empire for long on this shaky a foundation. Multipolarity here we come.
