I'm too optimistic a pessimist not to think that somehow a more multi-polar world won't help the US reconsider a little, and discover again the innovation and drive that made it great in the first place.
It is sad to see the dramatic financial decline of the U.S. but it was also very predictable. Those in power in U.S. government have such hubris and have been so accustomed to being the sole superpower in the world that they are now in denial and incredulous of the slow motion disaster of the U.S. financial system and the crumbling of the dollar as the reserve currency of the world. They have only themselves to blame but worse is that they are taking all of us down with them. I don't know what will happen to the U.S. over the next 25 or even 10 years, but make no mistake, there will be much pain. I believe that Trump will be elected soon, but will his election be enough to save us? I don't think so. It may be enough to slow down the train coming at us, but unless the American people wake up to the fantasy we have been living in and unless we completely reject the Marxist ideology many have been embracing due to "educational" indoctrination of our youth, all may be lost.
It's like climate change - just because we don't talk about it, doesn't mean it isn't happening. I'm guessing many countries are not happy with the US controlling world finances.
