America has lost multiple wars in the desert and been chased out of Afghanistan. The American military is currently struggling hard with the Houthis, and the proxy war in the Ukraine of all of Nato is going Putin's way. The combined manufacturing might of all of Nato can't beat the "gas station masquerading as a country". Giving all the manufacturing to China and other countries was a huge mistake. Likewise, attempts to break Russia with tariffs failed miserably. Is America even still a global super power at this point?

People here are dancing around it. But the answer is the same one as the questuion "are the cia and fbi anti-american?" They aren't, and the USA is the only super power.
But the CIA and FBI don't perceive aamerica the way you do, their job isnt to serve the citizens or preserve their rights, their job is to maintain order internally and project power outward. The same is true for the USA. YOU think that being a super powered is defeating your enemies, the American establishment doesn't view a single entity that you think of as an enemy as one. They view being a super powered as achieving their goals. None of which are a powerful robust nation state, empowered populace, increased quality of life for citizens, elimination of rogue threats.
So yes it's a superpower, it's just opposed to you.
