    We are quickly sliding back to a world of great powers

    Sliding back? When did it stop?

      Westerners don’t have a clear perception of this since they have lived in either the great power (US) or one of its vassal states (NATO) for the last 30 years.

      They’re not used to a world of multiple great powers / poles, even though that has been the case for most of human history.
