Which country would you rather police the world if not the US?

no other country is capable. The U.S. is the only global power who can move freely and project power on that scale.

The UN. So we're not the only ones paying for it and not the scapegoat for when shite goes south.

Nobody has the military power to do this but US. And the few countries that do have the military power aren't exactly the moral-world-police type.

I agree with the thought, and if it functioned properly it would be the best solution.

No they don't. World order does not require a global hegemonic power. Multipolar international structures have existed in the past and have done so with relative peace and order. With global bodies like the U.N., essential hegemonic influence can be organized and conducted by a coalition of nations. Or regional hegemons can exert influence and order in their own geopolitical neighborhoods, lessening the costs and risks incumbent on a global hegemon to be everywhere and battling everyone at once.

The U.S. is soon to be incapable of exerting effective hegemonic power as we have since the end of WWII. People need to be prepare for this shift in world order as it is necessary and inevitable.

Love how easily this board changes it's mind. Now suddenly being the world's police os a good thing.
