Covid is only mentioned once in the article, mostly in the context of ginormous astronomical compounding debt, the favorite remedy for no matter what came our way in the last two decades. The article seems to be more about this: "Just as the US eclipsed Britain at the end of the nineteenth century as the world’s largest trading country, China long ago surpassed America by the same measure." that seems to be the author's new compelling evidence. Side note, I don't see how most of the events you listed: winning the Cold War, Iraq or the Arab Spring could even remotely challenge the US dominance, just the opposite, if anything.
