It’s going to be a couple of humbling decades for the USA.

The western world was happy to keep the USA as a global police force, as long as they didn’t step too far out of line and at least paid lip service to international law.

With that gone and now caring only about brazen self interest, there is little reason to support the USA as an ally, so they have been demoted to a trading partner(unwillingly).

Honestly it’s much better to do trade with literally anyone else besides the USA.
