I really think it will boil down to how far out you reach to maintain your geopolitical position, there will be no need to attack you, your guns will not help. Except for your own demise.
It is an economic and political setup, where you have no one to blame, it will just fade, until you are nothing more than Italy.
What makes you think any nation is safe from that scripted destiny?
On the bright side many people of Italy are still proud Romans, so I guess you can always daydream of long gone glamour, which might sooth the despair a little...

I once read somewhere that the United States will be relieved of their world power position, their economy will cripple, and they will no longer be the beacon of the free world.
Could you cope with living in a mediocre 3rd World country without a respected international reputation, and would you still be patriotic about it?

Is "mediocre 3rd World" how you see the country where you live?
