I wish I could cave your tiny little head in over the internet. The US became prosperous and powerful because it was the global nexus of manufacturing where multitudes of less advanced countries sent their resources along with the vast domestic reserves being tapped to be made into the various machines of the modern world. Detroit didn't become the one of wealthiest cities in the world by offshoring automobile manufacturing wherever the fuck. The modern decline of the USA conincides with the outsourcing of domestic manufacturing that only benefited rich shareholders.
You have it completely backwards. The domination of surrounding countries was to keep them from becoming industrial hubs and keep them supplying America with cheap raw materials to sell them back.
