I sometimes think we'd be better off if we just had a lot less power. Our currency would be weaker, and we'd have to pay more for things. Probably wouldn't be able to keep building new, large, sprawling subdivisions, but not a bad thing, IMO.
I agree, the world needs a balance of democratic powers. I just don't like it when I see certain 'lefties' advocate for China and Russia to expand their power to counteract the US.
And I hate everything about the suburbs: the sprawl, the grass lawns, the lack of quality public transportation, ugly-ass parking lots, strip malls, etc. Definitely wouldn't be losing out if that stopped/slowed down.
