All three superpowers are controlled, for the moment, by autocrats with varying degrees of stength in their holds on power.
China, President Xi shows no apparent sign of a challenge to his power.
Russia, President Putin seems to be taking extreme security precautions to prevent/forestall a coup as his Glorious Seven-Day Special Military Operation to subjugate Ukraine is into its fifth year.
America, President Trump is battling obvious senility, as his Glorious Three-Week War to subjugate Iran is in its fourth month. His party may lose control of the Congress in November. But maybe not. He may use his paramilitary DHS forces to overturn the election, as he tried to do with an unoffical militia in 2020.
Maybe things will improve and the globe will slow its slide toward autokracy/kleptocracy.
But I shall not bet on it.
