Is America the Sole Superpower Again? Reaganism with Arthur Herman
Episode 272
Wednesday, 4 February, 2026

On this episode of Reaganism, Roger Zakheim sits down with Arthur Herman to discuss his latest oped in the Wall Street Journal titled "America is the Sole Superpower Again." Herman argues that despite the presence of China, India, and other great powers, the United States is the sole superpower because it alone is capable of dictating the tempo and direction of world events, as recently evidenced by US strikes against Iran, Venezuela, among others. Herman argues that the latent tools of US power have existed for years and were just waiting for the right leader to bring them together and combine them on the world stage. They end the conversation with Herman's reflections on the trend lines of past unipolar moments after World War II and the Cold War and their fleeting nature, along with Herman's observations on President Trump's handling of Greenland.
