For one thing, U.S. strategic primacy would end. No more indispensable nation, no more power projection, no more 'American century'. The United States, having ruined every relationship in Central and South America, would become strategically isolated. The end of the American Empire would be painful, but it might just be the only thing that could save America from itself.
Like that quote from Chernobyl: "Our power comes from the perception of our power. Soviet leaders were aware that their country was falling apart, but the external image - keeping up appearances - had become an end unto itself"
