<Underlying practically everything you write is a deep seated belief that all the problems of the world were a)caused by America or b) about to be caused by America.>
The U.S. exercises more power, in more places, and in more ways (military, cultural, economic), than any other nation in history ever has. There are 200 "independant" nations on the planet, but for almost all of them, their sovereignty is heavily restricted, directly (by U.S. army, State Dept., our funding or threats not to fund various programs) or indirectly by U.S.-dominated organizations with global reach (IMF, World Bank, multinational corporations). The U.S. dollar is becoming the global currency, our Federal Reserve exercised power globally, English is becoming the global language, our Universities are where much of the elite of every other nation is trained. This concentration of power in one nation, is unprecedented. We are witnessing a unique historical event, something that has never existed before.
It is an exaggeration, but not much of one, to say that the U.S. government is the de facto world government, and the U.S. military is the world police.
So, yes, the U.S. is responsible for much of the evil, along with much of the good, that happens anywhere on earth. |
