    Soft power is dead because the two most recent Presidents of the US are completely incompetent at it.

    China and Russia and India are happily projecting soft power even as the US seems to have forgot how.

      I think it’s actually due to the decline of the US as a stable partner. Not just Presidents, but the whole government is seemingly unable to function.
