I’m not an expert, but demographic trends are bleak for Russia, not particularly good for China, and only a bit better for the US. Only time will tell what it all means.

That said, losing super power status seems like a reasonable bit of speculation. I don’t see a path to maintaining it while in demographic collapse.
