USA - Is it still the world's policeman?

 

Let’s face it. And say it, as what it is. Whenever, there are serious protests and rallies in a country  and civilians are killed by the people whom the protests are against,  the first question that one asks in one’s mind is ‘What is United States is going to do about it'. Not what UN, EU or even Russia or any other political or regional group is going to do about it? Such is the complexion of superiority that the US’s past, self-justified, responsive actions have been embedded into one’s mind. The launching of missiles, bombardments in the Middle East countries and the killing of the well known political personalities like Sadat Hussein and Gaddafi are just simple examples. Imposition of sanctions on countries that the US considers as rogues, and the inclination of other countries to follow that imposition is another one. Actually, to me, its clout began after the second world war, after the devastating, disastrous bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki!

Right now, mass rallies, protests and killings of civilians are going on in many countries of the world. And the world is watching what USA is going to do about it. Yes, what the newly elected President Biden is going to do about it! That is the burden that comes along for being the superpower! And, for being the President of USA!
