Who, if anyone, should be 'world police'?

- foepys 6y agoAs a German, no, thank you. I get why some people think Germany would be a good fit but the German people don't want it. The parliament has enough trouble justifying German military involvement in peace keeping missions - playing world police would never fly.
- dang 6y agoCould you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN? We've had to ask you this before.

In an increasingly pluralistic world multilateralism is much more sensible position than some sort of hegemonic world police.
