Some erroneous assumptions make this scenario go WAY off the mark: 1- America does not have a weak military, 2-Iran is getting its ass kicked and will soon be negotiating for peace, 3- America is energy-independent, thus will not be deleteriously effected by rising gas prices in the long run 4- China is suffering economically and is not nearly as powerful as you suggest. 5- Western Europe is becoming irrelevant and is in decline. 6- Eastern European countries are pro-American, are contributing their " fair share", and are staunch allies. We will become much closer with THEM. 6- Russia is a paper tiger, both militarily and economically. Russia is being fought to a stalemate in Ukraine.

I respectfully submit, that these six factors throw off your predictions by a wide margin.
