Is this country and it's allies losing the ability to control global power; leaning toward global destruction?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

I wonder why you think global destruction is a rational result of this country losing its exclusive super-power status.

Throughout history, countries have risen and fallen; it has always happened, and it has never led to global destruction. Many countries have never been considered "super powers" and have done quite well. On the other hand, consider Imperial England, Spain, Ancient Greece and Rome: all major empires at their height. History tends to show that when one country begins viewing itself as indestructible, it tends to exert military force over diplomatic, becomes resented or feared throughout its region, and becomes less trustworthy to its neighbors, who begin to view it as self-serving and egotistical. Do you see any of these trends happening in the U.S. today? Are Americans perceived this way? (If not, I guess you should assume we're safe)

However, I don't think you should worry about this. Unlike the ancient superpowers, modern countries have safeguards that prevent us both from being wiped out and from fading into obscurity. Clearly, England and Spain at their heights were FAR bigger than the US in area, and now have a much smaller share of the world economy than they once did, but they manage to provide their citizens with excellent opportunities and quality of life. Most social reform that made these countries really great places to live occured after they were superpowers - not during. And do you really think that Italians feel any less for Italy, for the fact that they don't control half of Europe? I doubt it.

As for allies, the US has been so bent on doing everything it wanted for the past 6 years that I think we've done a pretty good job at alienating most of them. We've decidedly been in favor of brandishing our own might, rather than actually listening to our allies, or- I don't know- having evidence to justify our sweeping decrees upon the world, that you don't have to worry about their power right now.

if there was really a credible threat of global destruction, and not the environmental kind, then you could probably have faith that we would be able to cooperate with others, and mobilize appropriately. Otherwise, look forward. Even if things are changing, change is not always bad. We might lose part of what we feel is important now, but maybe we'll learn that there are more important things in the world, and that we've been ignoring them for too long.

We are in Kali Yuga, politics is only the manifestation.
