When you think about it, now that the cold war is over, The United States can only benefit from a reduction of the perception that the country is a singular, dominant super power.
The more America appears to be ruled by bufoons and rednecks, the smaller the target on its back will get.
When the British empire mattered, English adoption was driven by England. In the 20th century, English was adopted because of the cold war, NATO, and business with American companies.
