Half of the world has a lot of faith that if they confront United States, they'll be fucked like Iraq, Lybia or Syria. That's what the world has a lot of faith in. The US is the world's most potent racketeer, which gives the United States the ability to accumulate wealth literally tenfold their actual economic capacity. That's the primary reason why the US Dollar is the world trade currency, why the world does business with the United States and why the world studies in the United States.

Luckily for the rest of the world (and eventually for the U.S. as well), the pendulum has already reversed and is going down. It's our duty to try and keep it from going down in flames.
