When the US became economically dominant in the early 20th century and more so after WW2 the rest of the world shrugged and got on with it so to speak. Now that the US is being threatened from another country that eventually will take over that role the US is in panic mode about the whole thing. Countries have periods of influence and dominance, witness the period that Britain ruled the world and how its influence has faded in the period since the last world war. The same will happen to the US, maybe to a lesser degree but it is inevitable. I won't see it as the decline takes place but I will put money on it happening.
