Is America slowly making itself the enemy of the world?

[colinistheman]

The world is watching and this has caused countries to regain their stand and dropping the dollar. Forcing them to organise a new power called the BRICS. Building alternatives to the dollar dominance. The world is slowly regaining it stand in the world of power.

Trump's US has indeed messed up, but I don't see a better organization in the future BRICS either. Time will tell when conflicting interests arise. Its leadership ulterior motives will crumble the association in the future. The US-led leadership and organisation started nicely as well, even better than BRICS's. In the end all of them are only looking for more relevance and power, and when they get it, you shall see their true nature.

In essence, major powers like the United States, China, and Russia are all fundamentally the same. No country is purely benevolent and what they do is for their own benefit.
That is why we should not expect China or any other country to overthrow American dominance and take its place. Instead, what we should hope for is the emergence of a multipolar world, where power is distributed among many countries rather than concentrated in a single nation. Only then will the world have a chance for long term stability, balance, and prosperity.

[Mate2237]

Op if you have been following the global strands of recent , you will find out that countries are now beginning to shift attention from the united states of America. The interest of united states of America and major countries especially even some of their key allies are beginning to have some friction. Especially under the leadership of president trump whose leadership to me is is discribed as a dictator because, anything that he wants he will impose it, and use Force to implementing his Idea.



We have seen major alliance across the world and all the alliance is looking at how they will break free from the influence of the United States especially the dominance of the Dollar on the global stage. We have seen the Bric alliance the Russia, China and North Korea alliance and not forgetting the African African block which is also looking away from the dominance of the dollar.

The problem is that once America commits such things, nobody imposes sanctions on them. But somehow impose sanctions to countries that has done an inch of the atrocities they themselves have committed.

Will America  ever face serious consequences for her past actions or will she continue to cause terror and more atrocities in the world?

Apparently the US tends to get away with what they do because of the dominance the USD  has gained, as USD has become the function for global trade and the world to some extent is dependent on it, now fighting against America for this reason feels like the global economy is about to crash. This economic privilege entitle’s them to power to get away with whatever they do, a privilege that other countries are been denied of.

UN as an International body are structurally unable to hold US accountable. As the US has the power to block their security council decisions and has financial leverage, they become entitled to make principles and also decides who breaks them. Making them both the Judge and the jury. Though the system was for the safety of the powerful not to enforce control.

Nations has come to realization that it will be difficult to find justice under US dominance, giving rise to the search for alternatives. The idea of BRICS is a defensive mechanism to the American unaccountability. As the most powerful can not be held accountable the option left is to devise a different mechanism to protect oneself.

True accountability can only be feasible when there is a shift in global trade to neutral, decentralized assets. And finance will not be used as a weapon against other nations. But as long as we save and settle in USD, America will keep creating policies and will suffer no consequences.

[Somegory]

Slowly? America is just been America, this is who they are right from the beginning, they should have become the enemy of the world already, but I guess it just doesn't matter.

I  can't survive in America, this is just me, my country people believe that America is the best in the world, you get job and you live a good life but that's not so true, they have their own disadvantages too.

Guns are free and can be owned by anyone, you can get shot at any time, taxes are killing, you have to work your ass to stupor to survive unless you have some good skills or degree, such world isn't just for me.

The only problem in my country is insecurity, but I will rather struggle here and survive or get killed than living in a country where I don't belong originally.

[Alpha Marine]

As long as they remain the strongest economy and strongest military, they would always be at the top. Countries would always rather be allies with them than enemies. That is how the world works. It has always been like that and it would always be like that. In the world, the strong aways get away with a lot of things. Even if you look at individual level, the rich and powerful get away with a lot compared to the average people. So there is no big conspiracy there.

The BRICS and all the other alternatives are not any different. Russia invaded Ukraine, China is planning on invading Taiwan, so they are not any different.
All the talk of moving away from the dollar and getting a different world currency are wishful thinking. You don't just move away from a currency by declaration. The dollar is still as dominant as ever. Countries would rather hold the dollar as reserve then the yuan or ruble.
They don't need love. They just need to be feared and respected.

[asriloni]

US will never face the consequence from their action before it's their own interest. Different country, different agendas. So you can't really say they're making themselves world enemy while India, China and many of big countries are still working together with them.

The fact that many of BRICS countries are still playing two legs. So i don't see the point from the existence of BRICS when i saw no real commitment to fight US dollar.

I think you're just reading too many conspiracy theories and try to deny the fact that you didn't like it.

[DrBeer]

America has a history of backing dictators, funding wars, overthrowing government. The list is long. All this was done just for American interest. The continuous violation of human rights and preaching of democracy at the other side. Doesn't sit right. And she has never been held accountable for her actions.

The problem is that once America commits such things, nobody imposes sanctions on them. But somehow impose sanctions to countries that has done an inch of the atrocities they themselves have committed.

To keep the discussion from going down the wrong path, we should clarify - not the United States, but Trump and President Trump's Administration. This is a very important point, because, judging by the actions of Trump and his entourage, it is and ... anti-American group that is doing a lot of things that are destroying the United States ! Trump behaves like an absolutely inadequate person, and if at first it looked like a funny show (well, now he will make a clown show, calm down and do serious and right things), now it really looks like a crazy show.
Where will it lead ?
 Hopefully to this chronology of events: Republicans lose congressional elections -> Republicans lose majority -> impeachment.

But BRICS is not the savior here. I need people to understand this. You're swapping one set of powerful actors for another set of powerful actors and calling it reform. India and China cannot even settle their own border. Iran and Saudi Arabia were funding opposite sides of wars like two years ago. Your financial liberators are these?
The UN issue mentioned by you about veto power. Yeah. That was a truce mechanism between nuclear powers after WW2. It's just, I don't know, wishful thinking, that you expect some accountability from a system that is supposed to prevent you from being held accountable.
The architecture is what really counts here. Not who is at the table. The table itself is broken. If you can have your reserves frozen overnight by one entity (such as Russia), then it is not a financial system.

[Dreadboost]

The US has good intentions for the World. But the plan to execute the good deed is seen as a negative action by other countries. A thing I have learnt from the US is that they make use of their military to enforce actions rather than negotiations. This is because they have the military power and weapons to do so. It's like a mother scolding a child, but instead of talking to the child, she uses a rod. However, I don't think every fight or action should be weaponized by the US. A negotiation will solve the problem because I do not like war. In war, the innocent die, the hope of a better future, which are the kids die too. Brilliant minds are lost. If only war were not a thing in this world.

US foreign policy is structured in such a way that the country will have to be governed according to the guidelines that they provide for a country, and the ruling party in that country will have to govern the country according to the instructions. This strategy is a kind of domination and strong countries carry out indirect rule over weak countries.

If the government of a country does not follow America's instructions, it applies sanctions and tariffs on them and tries to cripple the country financially. The aim of BRICS is to reduce dependence on the dollar, but among its member countries, the strongest ones such as Russia, China, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia UAE and the others small member there was an attempt to create an alternative currency system for intra-trade transactions, but America warned of the possibility of a decline in the value of the dollar if the BRICS countries develop a separate currency system, America will apply strict tariffs and sanctions on those countries.

In recent years, America has established sole dominance in the world, but it has become clear through the Iran war that they may not be able to maintain sole dominance in the world in the future. However, it almost guarantees that the dollar will not be able to maintain its sole dominance in the global financial system in the future as Russia and China strengthen their economic bases, reduce their dependence on other countries, and gain military strength.

[yhiaali3]

Yes, unfortunately, this is what is happening. The United States which presents itself as the greatest power in the world and the most democratic country, and appoints itself as the world's policeman, is pursuing wrong policies that are generating increasing hatred around the world.

Let's take a quick look at how, since Trump took office, he raised tariffs, arrested Maduro, seized Venezuelan oil, had problems with his neighbors Mexico and Canada, tried to invade Greenland, and finally waged war on Iran. Amidst all this, he constantly mocked European leaders. This is enough to create hatred for the United States like never before.

[noorman0]

To keep the discussion from going down the wrong path, we should clarify - not the United States, but Trump and President Trump's Administration.

Has any US president in the modern era (post-WWII) never ordered his troops to take up arms? I think every US president has had a war agenda that will never end, either for their own interests or those of close allies.

If only war were not a thing in this world.

If war didn't exist in this world, perhaps the world we live in today would be very different because the human population would still be so large. But if we look at the countries' perspectives, it doesn't seem quite right to compare them to parent and child, because each country has its own sovereignty and its own set of rules. Therefore, we can't consider countries other than the US as children, even if their military might isn't much stronger than the US's.

And if you mention good intentions, I'm curious to see what kind of good intentions the US is trying to create. I've seen every country always plan to gain more benefits for itself and strive to become stronger than the other. Therefore, I consider negotiation the best initial option rather than resorting to direct military force for anything, because, as I see it, war won't always solve the problems and desires of either country.

[fruktik]

US know how to play the politics in a way as some countries do not like what it is doing, some other countries like it. But what I know is that if US continues the way Trump is doing things, it is an enemy than a friend.

Trump and his administration represent the most stupid and idiotic system of government the United States has ever seen. Such a fool has never held such a high office. He doesn't understand what he's doing. He's a crazy person who forgot to take his pills.

Yes, sooner or later, America will have to pay for its actions. These abominations can't continue indefinitely. I believe in justice and hope it will prevail in the near future.

And such clowns should not be allowed to govern the country.

However, nothing is permanent and everything goes through cycles of growth, decline, and replacement. History has proven that, and the US was not the only or the first empire to dominate this world.

Before it, many great empires held leading positions, but over time, they all gradually declined and gave way to new rising powers.

The American empire is no exception. However, it will probably take more time for that to happen.

No, read history. The US has never had any good intentions but only it self interest. She has never done any good deed without a huge price just as the devil in the bible will do. You made mention of the US using it's military to enforce actions rather than negotiations. The question is actions for who? Remember and always remember it's self interest. She doesn't care whether the other country will bleed. And  it's not like a mother scolding any child. But like a senior student being a bully to a junior student. Take a look back at history, all wars America has fought always had an evil agenda. You just have to look closely and marry it to the current world. You will understand. And when it clicks, you will understand the frustration of countries and why they don't like America.

Exactly, she doesn't care. Just want to remain the big dog and just oppressing smaller countries. Why doesn't she pick up a fight with her own size. North Korea is there, Russia is there. When it comes to smaller countries with little to no military might, she opens and mouth to devour the smaller countries. Nothing last forever. Her might will soon be taken from her.

Every nation acts the way it does simply because it can. And when it can't, it bands together with others of its kind, like BRICS. The catch is that the decisions and actions of a crowd of fools will always be dumber than its dumbest individual member. That’s a philosophical axiom

I hate to break it to you, but history does not always repeat itself. I get it that there have been many empires in the past that have fallen or been taken over by other empires, but that doesn't mean it would certainly happen to the US. That believe is just a coping mechanism people use to console themselves. I'm not saying it cannot happen, I don't mea the US empire cannot fall, I'm simply saying there are no guarantees.
Before the Trump adminstration, countries were trying to cut down on their military budget. China and Russia were the only countries that took military budget as seriously, but they were no were close. Countries like the UK, Germany, France, Japan all had military budget of just self defense or whatever they call it. It is now that Trump is turning the world upside down that countries like Germany are planning on increasing their military to build Europe's most powerful military.

Even the China that is the closest to America's level in military and Education is no where near the level of the US in reality. People would say what they want to believe, but the reality is different. If the US continues on the path that Trump has set them on, then here would be a chance of them falling from the top, but like we've always seen in America history, when the have a president that comes in to mess things up in the name of "making the country great again,", they get another one that would come and put things right.

This is something people always use to make generic arguments without putting things into context just to push a narrative.
I mean, you even have Nigeria in there despite the fact that they went after terrorist that have terrorised the region and the state government couldn't do anything. Just recently, the second person of ISIS was killed in Nigeria through an operation that the US na Nigerian military coordinated.
I get it that you hate the US and how they do things, I don't approve of the way they do things either, but try to put things into perspective when making an argument.

[Hewlet]

Will America  ever face serious consequences for her past actions or will she continue to cause terror and more atrocities in the world?

Already, America is hated by majority of countries both the ones that feel like they are in competition with the united state and those that feel that the united state is exploiting them. but the hatred is nothing as long as they still play their game real well and continue to remain the super power that the world can not do without.

Even with all the hate the united state dollar still remains the most popular currency and their say still affects the world greatly. with such level on influence in the worlds trade and politics that they hold, your hate on them does not even count because there is nothing you can bring against America that they can not reciprocate in the same wise.

[Mhizlove]

I will say that one reason why this debate doesn't end is because  international politics do not always operate's alone in fairness, influence , power and national interest is often determined on how countries are being treated on the international arena. Alot of people gets or feels frustrated when they see different standards that are being applied to different nations in the world, but history also shows ms that no country no matter how powerful that country is, it can't avoid scrutiny forever. So economic competition, diplomacy, public opinion and changing of global alliance can all shape how the country's actions are being viewed or seen over time
