I agree, if we built a new coalition of allied, prosperous states with their own constitution towards fairness and equality without fear of federal interference it would be a huge benefit to the people who live there.

The part that makes this outcome less than ideal is that the former US federal system will still have control of the world’s most powerful military, and I don’t really expect that particular faction to want peaceful and amicable relationships with their neighbors. We’re going to just see a replay of the Russia/Ukraine situation where unhinged tyrants prosper on starting endless wars with former members of their union.
