“ The US performs very well in standard of living measures compared to other countries.

According to the OECD’s Better Life Index, the country ranks first in housing, and above the world average in income, health status, education and skills, jobs and earnings, security, and environmental quality. About 70% of people aged 15 to 64 in the United States have a paid job while 91% of all adults have completed their upper secondary education. Overall, Americans are more satisfied with their quality of life than the world on average.”

Despite what you read, the US is a big, beautiful country with lots of friendly people. We do argue a lot about important things, and compete like crazy, but we cherish our freedoms to do so. We need more good people to be a part of the experience.

So energy crisis due to war is what was needed for the US to pull ahead? That doesn't speak highly of the current US living standard.

Well, this 'controlled demolition' of EU economy and relationships with the East (RU and CHI) has been the point since very long time ago (B. Obama had a very clever strategic trade deals which would assure that be established before D. Trump pulled out). Every serious economists wrote many article about the disastrous consequences for EU not pursuing peace but going for US induced 'proxy' war, which has no cost for the USA (if they play their cards right, they will be able to retain their hegemony and dollar as a reserve currency. This will in turn mean that they can continue to live in monetary bubble while the rest of the world has to get dollars only by producing real commodities).
