  1. Consider the approach called "Multi-Lateralism". It not only has the advantage of more international cooperation and with that more stability but can lead to more strength and less costs at the same time through unity. There is just one little thing on this the US might have an issue with: The US must accept to be only one voice in a chorus. A strong if not the strongest one, but only one amongst others. And it must live with the fact the this means sometimes there are group-decission the US not fully likes, but the group decided on together. Multi-Lateralism is the complete opposit of what the US was doing in the last 50 years ... playing world-police and doing most things on itself. US has full control on this, but also full costs and rarly help from the outside or even opposition (see Iraq-War). Multi-Lateralism is the only approach strong enough to keep China and Russia in check even if they make a Lateralism of their own. NATO is for all intense and purose a multi-lateralism approach but it was designed specifically for the Cold War and only for defense so it needs an evolution.
