The US has nuclear weapons. The rest of the world is terrified of them. If those countries you mentioned were to neutralize the US's power, they'd have to acquire a ****ton of nukes, and then we'd have another cold war. I'd say USA would have to give up some of its power voluntarily for the whole thing to work, and they probably won't.
