Yes, but numbers 1 and 2 each have 4 times the population of the US.
And as a % of the worlds population the US is very small, less than 10%. I think it was about 7.6% when I last calculated it.
Given the amount of the power and wealth that small percentage control, and the worlds perception that they want to control more, and will use force to get it, I can't see it being allowed to continue.
If your lucky there will be a small internal revolution, either US will more even share its wealth through better forgian policy, or it will become closed from the world in a an economic, and cultural sence, relying on its own resources, and allowing other countries to exploit thier own, for thier own gain, for a change.
If your unlucky the small countrys that are exploited by US forgian policy and greedy corporations will each learn to fight back, take what is thiers, for thier own use.
The US will collapse internaly, nothing severe, or 3rd world, but don't expect to be able to live the life of excess Americans are world famous for.
