I'm also wondering what's going to happen as our superpower status follows the same trajectory as Britain and fades to near nothing in the next generation. Two obvious things I think of -
Goodbye Taiwan. China's going to take over there and re-absorb that island. China also pretty much takes over all the seas on the Western side of the Pacific. Japan fully re-arms in self-defense.
Israel gets nuked by Iran, Israel removes Iran from the map and replaces it with a glass parking lot along with other selected sections of the Middle East likely to include Mecca if Jerusalem gets nuked. 2nd Diaspora.
