(slightly longer tweet) Do modern day Americans not realize that it's been explicit US policy for _decades_ to be world police? Being world police is insanely advantageous and pays for itself. When the fed prints more $$$, who do you think gets diluted? Everyone holding US dollars. That's the ENTIRE WORLD. Only the US is in this position. If Argentina prints money, Argentinians get diluted. If Americans get money, the dilution is subsidized to the entire world. Giving this privilege up, and throwing out a century of political work, so that China can come in and fill in this position is, as Elon like to say, retarded. Perhaps it makes sense for Trump/Elon locally; it certainly doesn't make sense for Americans. This should be heavily protested. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1896026564019830820

It’s helped US interests and made USD become the world’s reserve currency. imho, it’s debatable if it’s helped the median American. Leaving NATO is insane, but I’m not opposed to a smaller military and a less interventionist policy.

maybe the cost of being the world police is now greater than the benefits? I'd imagine China's rise contributed a lot to this. - can't cheaply police a situation / country if China / BRICKS is backing the other side. - can't go on USD printing binge because it will actually push other countries to trade with China.
