1. The Russian Front: The collapse of Ruble
2. The Middle East Front: The decline of oil prices.
Both these help the medium and long term geo-econ-political strategic interests of USA. Germany and Europe are affected more by the Russian plight; while UK (strategic advisory role would be weakened plus exports both visible and invisible) and Asia (migrant labor remittances more than exports) and Europe exports , both visible and invisible) would be affected adversely by a weak oil income dependent GCC.
USA may just not have much to lose at all.
