Turns out that the world was rather better off without us trying to run a big chunk of it and we were better off as well.
The US will be fine and might even become a better place once they stop being the most powerful country.
Why the hell would the rest of the world care about these things that only matter inside the United States? The US has never made it their goal to spread these "core democratic values," has no real checks or balances internationally, and shows a complete disregard for international law.
Except they never consider themselves subject to that law, just use it to punish those they don't like.
> democratic values
When have they ever spread this? The amount of democratic governments we've overthrown vastly outnumbers the successful ones we've created. And that's ignoring things like Operation Gladio.
>heavily shaded modern international trade
Which has enriched them far more than anyone else.
The issue most of the world (outside the US) worries about is not the end of their hegemony but the power vacuum that they leave behind.
Despite the near plutocratic state of the current US, they at least make an attempt at having core democratic values with checks and balances and a respect for rule of Law.
It is unclear if those who crave to take that soft-power away from the US will share the same ideals.
