True, but if you were an elite, a king or queen who lost power to the US you would be seeking to undermine and destroy the US. Destroy their testimony as a righteous and charitable nation. You would use the CIA to destroy the relationship between the US and all the other nations. You would also seek to undermine their economy. Send their manufacturing abroad, get them a huge debt, cause the collapse of their currency, and take away all their allies.
You would seek to get all the multinational corporations to agree with your globalist view of one world government. You would buy up senators, presidents and congressmen to make this all happen. You would pay any price to seize control of the US and then in control you would pay yourself back in spades with pork barrel bills.
You would undermine their vaunted public schools which at first were the envy of the whole world. You would incite the kids to reject all authority and you would do everything in your power to undermine the education so that the common American would be easy to manipulate and deceive.
