Great powers fall into a depressive malaise when they start to deflate and shrink.
Remember what it was like for Britain losing her Empire.
Or consider the demise of the Roman Empire or any other.
The USA is still among the wealthiest and most powerful countries,

The USA's influence depends entirely on how much it is willing to engage with other countries.
