Always thought that our Constitution was the Keystone, not so much the concept of the "US as global peacekeepers". Aren't a lot of people (citizens of the US AND elsewhere) not particularly fond of the US acting as a "global peacekeeper"? RE: The status of being a "financial powerhouse" seems to have been replaced with "being a piggybank". I don't want to be a piggybank; I want other nations to be able to take care of themselves! (Yes, we all get by with a little help from our friends, at times. And then there's something else that seems more like "getting over" than "getting by".)
TL;DR: I think our Constitution (and the Articles) are the Keystone.
