I believe that the US is in serious decline. It thrashes around like a violent child under the worst leadership imaginable.
It might take time, but I would like to see the rest of the world move on. Make new treaties and trade deals with one another. Negotiate peace where there is war. Put sanctions in place against countries which are out of order (Israel comes to mind). The US doesn't seem to be occupying the centre ground any more. Are they counted amongst civilised nations?

@IndyRichard Don't think they have been a civilized nation in my lifetime. Vietnam, Persia propping up corrupt regime of the Shah, Latin American countries bringing down elected Governments to replace with right wing dictatorships (Chile, Argentina, El Salvador), Iraq war, Syria, supporting genocidal Israeli regime over decades. It may have got worse recently or at any rate more open.
