re: Is God Punishing the United States of America?

Have you guys read the article? The author's conclusion seems to be that God might be punishing the USA because of our recent foreign policy, i.e. the US is retreating from its role as World Policeman.

However, 77 years after the end of the war, it all seems to be falling apart. Why? What happened? For sure, US foreign policy changed beginning in the Obama years, when it started to move away from the country’s self-defined role as the world’s police officer. Yes, countries do alter their foreign policies without their cultures going downhill. Yet over these past 13 years, with the advent of the smartphone and the exponential rise of social networking, hardly a day goes by that we don’t see some catastrophic event or trend that does not augur well for the continued success of the world’s greatest democracy.

The article asks the question: Given that the USA has retreated a bit from its Post WWII role of World Police, is God now punishing the USA?

The author seems to be implying that the USA's role in the world is to be God's Servant, and that role requires the USA to be a good Police Force for the World.

Isn't that the classic "Neo-Conservative" world view?
