This is not new and has nothing to do with the UN. The "rest of the world" is very uncomfortable with us being the only superpower and have/will continue efforts to degrade that standing. Will there be another superpower? Yes, but it will not be a coalition of EU countries, it will likely be China as they are the only ones with the resources to compete. Once they no longer have use for the hangers-on (EU/Russia) they will discard them.

As far as outsourcing speeding this up, sure it does. But we "insource" far more jobs than we outsource so we are also gaining steam or only getting stonger if you will. They have a long way to go and contrary to popular opinion we are not backing up to the field.
