We dont need a stronger US, we need a world less dominated by so-called superpowers like USA, China etc. There was strong US influence on Latin American and Middle Eastern dictatorships. Absolute power corrupts all as USA domination on the world would mean more countries having to comply to USA interests. I believe rather the world will become a decentralized world govt under a UN where countries are abolished for regions instead of artifically created nation states that was predefined through conquering and colonization. Where we dont define humanity based on countries but as one single species.

Good luck getting countries to agree to abolish themselves. What's the incentive for national politicians to ever agree to that?

  Yeah interesting how countries come before people and humanity. Centuries ago, democracy was looked as mob rule and republics in the Roman sense were favored because they didnt involve the common folk. Its almost amazing that aristocrats and nobles (politicans of the time) agreed to it which they didn't. When a minority gains more than a majority, the majority will try to fight for its powers. Within countries, theres a minority-majority play with national authorities if politicans are a self-serving class separate from that of the general population. I dont think they will agree but I see it as the future where we start losing notions of countries and people's cultures start blending together through tech, media and economy. Its the trend for successful products and philosophies to gradually expand and become more global, not the other way around. I dont pretend to know the future but there have been other theories floating around like the Dark Enlightenment who call for (in my mind wackjob) conservative republics with ideals from past centuries that run as competing corporations instead of countries as the future.
