If the US became an international bad actor the first crisis to resolve would likely be the outsized environmental impact America has. I'm pretty sure the rest of the world could sanction America into oblivion due to how unnecessary American exports are but it'd put China in an unrivaled power position.
It'd really fucking suck but that may be where we're headed.
Is the US currently treated as a bad actor internationally?
Depends where. It has allies and has enemies and frenemies. Since Trumps first term, it's viewed as more unstable and unreliable. I don't think his second term will alter that view. America was a lone superpower after the fall of ussr. So, it provided stability. Now with the rise of China, and a more unified EU, it's less powerful, but still the most powerful. The USA has done some terrible atrocities and continues to support many. The most recent being the current genocide in Gaza. Do you think Palestinians view the USA as a bad actor?
