US doesn’t want to run the world and control other countries? This is an incredibly immature understanding of geopolitics. Do you understand what NATO is? Do you understand how many military bases the US has. Do you understand the involvement of the US in wars outside its own country. Do you understand the political and military powerhouse the US is. Do you not understand these goals have been accomplished with only Russia and China pushing back? US has formed a strategic alliance with every powerhouse except Russia. What US wants occurs. It has nothing to do with money. It has to do with spheres of influence. I can’t believe I am downvoted for voicing my opinion by uneducated techies who do not understand global politics. This website becomes more like Reddit every week. Why am I downvoted for providing my opinion? |

Of course we want more influence. But we don't want to run things.
It's not because we're nice people or whatever. It's because we're a maritime and trade power while our competitors have historically been land powers. We want someone rich we can trade with who takes care of their own problems at home.
> Do you not understand these goals have been accomplished with only Russia and China pushing back?
A lot of the world is constantly pushing back against all kinds of hegemony. To add to your list, there is no love lost for America in Brazil, much of Africa, most of the Arab world nor in Central Asia.
> What US wants occurs
Have you seen how discordant our alliance talks are? They're multilateral and messy. The only reason Europe and America are in step with one another is because of Russia. The only reason the Quad exists is because of China.
