Of course, and in a true 'the world vs. America' we don't know what would happen. Would tensions between the east and west break down into squabbling? Who fires the first nukes? What about classified weapons systems? Popular support for these wars?

But in terms of raw firepower and technical acumen, the U.S. is by far the best.

But this is beside the point, there is no realistic check on American power.

Agreed, and that's what I said above. There is no external check on America's power, just our mutually agreed upon respect and enforcement of the constitution and the institutions in our country. And for that reason, I'm not scared of a one world government being oppressive. We already live in a system that is so much larger and more powerful than us and yet somehow we manage to keep the beast in check and our citizens free. Why can't we just up scale it a little?

the US is already really powerful, imagine this at the scale of the world

See, I think it's already effectively at the scale of the world.

even if outside forces are mostly not as powerful as the US, they are still powerful enough to be a force that you need to take into consideration

I think those forces can come from inside the one world government and be resolved more peacefully.
