I think Bitcoin reframes economic battles between from battles to more a more peaceful view. America's economy has become too militarily dependent while losing self-sustaining productivity in other fields like consumer goods manufacturing, which has flowed to other nations, but China in particular. In a global free market, one nation's productivity is not a loss to another nation but a boon to all humanity. Bitcoin should uproot the weaknesses caused by fiat dependence and manipulation and on a BItcoin standard I don't think nations would view one another as challengers, but as neighbours (even if they're halfway around the world).
