The whole world will probably support the US as long as US does not instigate conflict because US is symbolism of international peace.

Umm, I hope you are not serious. We've assisted in overthrowing practically every government in South America at least once, carpet bombed the Middle East, invaded Iraq twice, occupied Afghanistan, and when any atrocities happen in Africa, we mysteriously don't care, and never get involved.

We are supported because we have economic and military power

at least there wasn't a world war - anything is better than that

I was born in the US and continue to live here, and this nation does not represent international peace to me. A quick search found this:

The United States operates a global network of military installations and is by far the largest operator of military bases abroad with locations in dozens of nations on every continent....

The United States is known for its wealth, and when it falls, the nations of the world will mourn because they lost their biggest customer and with it their rich incomes. When America falls, they will lament because they will lose the nation that bought so much of their merchandise.
