    “Fix your own problems. We’re sick and tired of being the world’s police force”

    – America

    (…along with the world’s checkbook. And no matter what we do, everything gets blamed on us. We’re taking our ball and going home)

      I’d just like the US to stop playing world cop and have a decade or two without some intervention somewhere.

        Yeah, that would be nice. But the same people who claim that they don’t want to be the world’s police force anymore also tend to miss the point of what that means.

        Sorry, but we aren’t going to swoop in to some African country and save the people there. We aren’t going to overthrow some dictator in Asia just because he is unpopular. Just because some leader is cruel to his own people, that doesn’t mean we should take down his government. That means the rest of the world has to solve it’s own issues and not come running to the US every time some other nation starts threatening them.

        More like the US showed up a day late with a billion dollars and wrecked house. Flipped the war against the Axis on multiple fronts and essentially 1v1’d Japan
