A Great post about why the USA has become “the world police”. In response to the question “who made them the world police”?
Original text follows——————//
The entire world did.
The US has almost the entire world on salary. In just 30 years, they have given 1.3 trillion dollars in aid to the world.
That is the GDP of the whole of Ghana 16x, Kenya 12x, Nigeria 3x. They are the top donors to the United Nations, 28%.
They are the top donors to the WHO, around 15%. They are the ones with the largest financial commitment to the IMF, around 17%
They give money through bilateral relations, country-to-country, and multilateral solutions, such as the UN, WHO, IMF, etc.
80% of the money goes to things like education, healthcare, social development, etc.
They pay the largest of NATO's defence budget, aroud 70%, so Europe can be safe, project power, and keep the balance of geopolitical scale.
I could go on and on about how the entire world simply stands in line for US paychecks.
And that is why America feels it is the leader of the free world. They are paying for it, at the cost of their national treasury.
They are in debt, but they keep paying.
If the world wants America's interventionism to stop, let it bring as much financial stake to the international table.
In international politics, the one paying you is controlling you. You can't have one without the other.
This is why the US feels it can police the world. It is like guarding the enterprise they are paying for.
