The US certainly punches above its weight economically and militaristically. But its population is still a fraction of the global population. While it has wealth and massively destructive weapons, the rest of the world absolutely does have a say in how important we let it be.
If there was a global initiative to not respect American intellectual property and people were universally turned off by its politics / lack of morality, it could become a backwater pond in no time. I believe in human ingenuity to accomplish that.
Now of course the US would respond with violence but in a circumstance where it truly was the globe versus the US I actually dont like the US’ chances very much.
The world is much, much bigger than one sparsely populated country, and there are far more important metrics than the physical size of the US.
Metrics like population, geographic isolation, health care, political instability, violent crime, technical superiority, countless others that mark a country like the US as an entity to be safely disregarded.
Thailand passed the US in health care years ago, China passed the US in renewable and next-gen tech, not to mention manufacturing, most countries citizens enjoy much more robust civil rights.
Yes, the physical country is large, but the US is s small, insecure, violent pocket of the world that people don’t need to pay nearly as much attention to as its groupies demand.
The US looks very tiny from out here, and even tinier from the inside after seeing some of the rest of the world.
How the fuck do you consider one of the largest countries, in literally every physical, economical, military, and basically every other metric… Small?
The fuck crack are you smoking. Cause that’s some good shit.

Cool music, though. Nice forests.
