I'd like to continue with the US being the undisputed heavyweight champion of Earth for awhile longer yet.
We'd be worse off without the hegemon...but other countries would be MUCH worse off.
Don't think that's a good deal.

yeah the US is one of few nations that could keep up its standard of living, without any interaction with another country ever again.
most people don't understand the geographic lottery that the US enjoys. this country by territory is vastly, vastly OP.
some might make the claim that white people killed off the indigenous americans, which is true, its also their fault for not inventing guns, but i digress.
even if canada and mexico were both hostile nations at the same time, it would be wildly difficult for them to even make a scratch in US territory. and then to the east and west is just ocean. add on top of that AK/HI and other US properties, we built an empire that could stand indefinitely, unless the american citizens tear down their own nation first.
but people being people, and taking for granted a geographic superiority they couldn't hope to understand they will decide the biggest problems in the world is what room that you piss in, then they'll destroy themselves from the inside out.
of course, if i were a marxist, that would be my plan.
