If not us, there will be someone else.
China
Russia
Involved? Absolutely
World’s cops? Get lost
Odd, they scream and yell about us getting their business, vilify us, and hate us...when faced with the prospect of not having us pick up the tab, they have a tantrum.
Former NATO Chief: The United States Should Be the World’s [free] ‘Policeman’
Corrections welcome.
Had an English roommate in graduate school back in the mid 80’s.
I asked him why they criticized the US but not Russia?
He said, we live next to Russia. If the US isn’t going to lead, we sure as heck aren’t going to.

Why? So Denmark can spend money on free goodies for their smug population of wimps?
No more American blood for European comfort!
Couple trillion a year? Who should the bill be sent to?
That role is most successfully filled when the "policeman" is advancing his country's interest, and here I cite every successful empire from Rome to the British. When he is suckered into behaving otherwise, the empire falls. We're being suckered by globalists and NWO fantasists, and they aren't worth the blood they're costing. This is not an argument for isolation, it's an argument for clearly identifying what is in America's interest and pursuing that, not some silly fictive Greater Good.
Exceptional effective policeman are clean, honest and lead by example.
Ignoring founding father’s advice cautioning America to “avoid foreign entanglements”, has been disasterous for countries we interfered in, and our own country in so many ways.
Our “world police” war actions since 2003 have damaged six country’s social, political and economic order, killed TENS of THOUSANDS of innocents, displaced MILLIONS,and resulted in creating angry Islamic refugee hordes now distablizing NATO allies.
This must stop.
Police Commissioner Obama is on the Take
Yeah but who does the world call when it needs a cop?
The World’s Policeman?
Only if the rest of the world pays the bill for their security. Why do we donate our treasure and our warrior’s lives to an ungrateful world???
Let them start paying the interest on our debt and receive no more charity from us in the form of “foreign aid.”.
That would be a start.
I guess he hasn’t heard about the current persecution of police officers in America.
How disparate are the USA’s NATO dues compared to these euro-pikers? They are too busy funding their socialist idiocy to want to pay their fair share.

Police don’t work for free.
If the world wants America to be a policeman, then pay the cost. One trillion per year seems to me a fair starting point, world. And the money goes to pay for equipment and salary to the troops providing the police services.
I don’t think we’re even policing America against traitors and seditionists. This country is having the indispensable tool for free speech, the Internet, stripped away from it. We can’t take even adequate care of our vets. This country is in bad shape and the best I think we can do is turn our energies inward. We are simply stretched too thin.
