I don’t know. A multipolar world might lead to more wars.

A unipolar world isn’t fair but when no one is near-peer with the toughest guy on the block, a fight is unlikely to break out - that toughest guy often plays police too so war among the rest is reduced as well.

Question is if the US should be that police. I think the majority outside will say no; maybe they cannot do anything about it at the moment, but long term they might band more together.
