“Mono world order” is a fun euphemism for “boo hoo we’re not allowed to run around the planet conquering other people”. You’re free to “divest” as you put it…

“Mono world order” is a fun euphemism for “boo hoo we’re not allowed to run around the planet conquering other people”. You’re free to “divest” as you put it… But you’re still expected to behave & play nicely with your neighbors.

“Mono world order” is the appropriate term when the US can go around conquering other people in their perceived self interest (Iraq, Afghanistan) but says nobody else can.

  If you want the real-politick answer then “yeah, absolutely”. What’s your point? But the U.S empire has been pretty amazing for a pretty amazing number of people across the globe, and it is shockingly easy to stay on the good side of U.S. foreign policy. Be reasonably democratic, don’t genocide undesirable elements of your population, don’t pick on other reasonably democratic countries, don’t threaten world trade and resources, don’t steal all the Americans’ stuff by suddenly socializing industries in your country, don’t fund terrorist activity against them. Yeah you can find exceptions to every one of those listed items - welcome to global politics.

I'm sure Iraq and Palestine would agree. And of course the country that did very well to the world, also wanted to illegally control the worlds population for its own interest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Study_Memorandum_200 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Study_Memora... > Yeah you can find exceptions to every one of those listed items - welcome to global politics. Which is why everyone wants to get rid of the dollar.

      Russia went from being the “evil empire” to having Starbucks and McDonalds within ten years of ticking just a couple of those boxes. If your nation is still on the international naughty list it’s because of your behavior. Americans would much rather be selling you cheeseburgers and blue jeans and Avengers movies than fighting with you.

        Yes, it’s true Americans are very easy to get along with. All you have to do is depose your leaders, change your entire economic system and dismantle your military capacity for force projection just like the USSR did as it broke down.
