The world might thank us for that. But what exactly does it mean? Are we really the world leader now? It seems more we are just the power necessary to make or break an international effort.
What is our fair share? And what if that fair share is not enough to ensure that what we want to do is done?
Even to the point of allowing our allies to fall to enemies? That doesn't seem like it would be in our best interests.
We don't give foreign aid as a gesture of friendship. We do it to create stability. Such limitations would cause a sharp decline in third world development and create more emergencies to aid in.
As lousy as the UN is, I don't think it is in our interests to cut ourselves off from the rest of the world in this manner. Rather we should work to reform the UN or create a new international organization to address the flaws.
Possibly yes. But I'd need more information. What areas are we currently in that we can pull back from without creating disaster?
And what if this leads to NK attacking Japan or for Israel to be destroyed? It seems that if we are to remove our military, it should be a gradual scaling back combined with an effort to train the countries we are leaving to take over.
We never do. We are the only country that ignores whatever treaties we feel like ignoring.
That's part of the reason our reputation is falling apart.
Perhaps we should just be more careful about the treaties we sign. Some are actually worthy.
