Real questions

Real questions in no particular order:

1. If America (USA) is no longer a superpower, how would that actually affect Americans?

I imagine it would mean they could travel to fewer places, and maybe English wouldn't be such a popular international language? And prices would go up for everything I guess. What else?

2. What is liberalism?

Obviously this is a question I could answer by reading up on it. Same for Marxism.

3. How do empires fall?

I need to learn more about empires in history and how they came to an end.

The point is that I'm really trying to understand why Americans think and act the way they do. I feel like Israelis are so focused on the war right now that we're not looking at the bigger picture, which is really important. The bigger picture has to do with how power shifts in the world and how sovereign nations can lose sovereignty. The bottom line for Israel is that we need unity and we need allies, and I'm pretty sure that's the bottom line for America. But do the American people realize that?
