Hillary making speeches about what else she is going to give away doesn't seem to be a reasonable approach.

It is not just the U.S. by any stretch either.
My emphasis here is on collapse. So long as the world view US as a safe haven, There is no collapsing.

Remember the BRICS. Even the Chinese have faith in our system.

The US controls the important monetary/trade world institutions and can make adjustments to favor itself from any ill wind.

Plus it has powerful organs to destabilize and or control any entity which threatens its hegemony.

Debt is manageable and the availability of credit turns the industrial wheels.
It is a US paradigm which is sustained by the world view that in the US the individual is supreme.
