The USSR was always a third-world nation with a first-world nuclear arsenal. What they had to offer was pretty one-dimensional. The US is much more then that but it is definitely moving in the wrong direction.
What concerns me most is that we are abandoning science and ceding future technology to China and others. We're still leading in AI and space technology but aside from that, clean, reusable energy will probably be the oil of the 21st century. Even the perennial third-world Africa is rapidly deploying solar power while we deny climate change and idiots wear their red hats and cry, "Drill baby, drill!"

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
