Yet while we have nukes in the thousands would anyone dare invade?

Lack of dominance doesn’t mean lack of defense from invasion (whether they be militaristic or diplomatic - as is the case of Sweden and Switzerland).

Economic might is just as important as military might.  Both are required in order to keep the top position.  If the US only have military might but lose their economic might, it could mean the only thing they are worth is being the global police force.
