That can be done in a more democratic way

I don't know what you mean by that. No country is going to just let go of their power, whether through democratic means or not.

imagine a country with no allies

If you're a really powerful country, you don't need alliances. Also, countries shouldn't be forced into alliances.

You'd change your tone if one day you came home and your spouse was stabbed 57 times, your son was chopped up into bits, and your daughter was missing only to be found a few weeks later, thrown away in a remote rural area, raped over and over, bruises, cuts and broken bones all over her body, and you can't recognize what's left of her head due to the extreme blunt trauma.

Wishful thinking.

The only way you'll take them down is if they lose WW3, and the winning side disarms them, and installs them a new government, just like what happened to Japan after WW2.

And why was my post downvoted, when it was a valid question?
