I didn't say other nations wouldn't be better off without US interference. The US has caused a lot of problems and overthrown plenty of governments, sometimes for no greater crime than being an ideological threat by its presence, or refusing to let capitalist interests exploit their resources.
But the US is responsible for a lot of stability in the world. This is one of the reasons the dissolution of USAID has been so disastrous. It was a vector by which the US did good and created stability.
And yes, the fall of the US would mean that some military adventurism from the US would not happen, allowing some societies to develop in peace...but at the same time, other societies looking to expand violently will also be emboldened. It will be chaotic and unpredictable.
