>is automatically going to be seen by most of us as a turn played in the game to become the world's #1 superpower.

What gets me is when people present it like it's bad to play that game. Like "it's ok when we do it".

And the minute you mention it, it is "whataboutism". And it is of course very very bad and is the opposite of their noble hypocrisy.

It's not bad. But the western superpowers, however flawed, are at least familiar. For the past 75 years we've avoided world war under this power balance. A new power balance could turn out better in that regard, but that doesn't mean it won't be scary, especially for those who value individual liberty.
