Stop LARPing as world police, America.
After watching the video and reflecting on it, I feel like "world police" as a term to describe the US may be understating the attitude. That it's more like the US has the attitude of a slave owner, where it views every country, resource, and people as a possession and freaks out when anybody wants self determination; which would fit with it never fully losing its slavery roots.
For sure, it is imperialism, but what I think the comrade is getting at, is that since the end of the cold war, and maybe even a bit before, the USA acted, and was regarded in some ways as the world police, and would get involved with any countries "breaking the law", in whatever form it might take. And yeah it was just imperialism disguised as bringing democracy, but they at least had the connivance of much of the world, and the muscle to do it and not be called out. Now they are just LARPing as the role they used to have. The Ukraine war is an example of what they used to do, but not being successful at it. And now with Cambodia, where they acted as "World Police" in the past, they are just barking. They have no way to mess that much with a partner of China with the excuse of being partner with China. it would be a diplomatic shitstorm, where the US would not end up on top.
Fair and noted.
