/pol/ - Politically Incorrect

Let's look at this objectively. We boast about a multipolar world and balancing relations between the West, Russia, and the Global South. But on the ground, our passport strength remains weak, our neighbourhood (Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal) is increasingly volatile, and the manufacturing shift from China isn't happening at the scale we hoped for. Are we actually becoming a global superpower, or is our foreign policy just good PR for domestic consumption while we get squeezed by major global blocs?
