“Trump said the U.S. cannot always “be the policeman of the world”

We shouldn’t have to be.

You’d better hope we do. Nobody else is qualified.

“Trump said the U.S. cannot always “be the policeman of the world”

“We shouldn’t have to be.”

Shouldn’t is wishful thinking. Someone has to defacto maintain global stability. England did it for almost 200 years with pax Brittanica.

Then the U.S. took over for another 75 years, with a relatively less powerful Soviet Union playing a less dominant role.

A world that has multiple power centers is an unstable world.

[Does so]

Trump said the U.S. cannot always “be the policeman of the world”

But when we weren't, we lost nearly half a million dead.
