Practically it is. The US already became a superpower nation and isn't afraid to make a western alliance to build a strong military and economy. And not to mention it becomes more open to ethnic diversity after what the Confederacy did in their home soil, and really don't want to see another psychopathic fanatic in which they did against Imperial Japan.

One thing, Russia and Japan seen at the end of the series appear to become the major big bad in a possible future. However, it didn't turn out in this timeline as with any brutal dictatorship (or oligarchy in the Russia's case) it doesn't really last forever.
