Holy fuck you need a history lesson…the US didn’t become a superpower because of WW2…
The US is liked because it creates(this is changing rapidly because of the turnip in power) world stability for a huge portion of the globe. It’s why the USD has been the reserve currency for such a long time.
The EU has a lot of this as well. France has no legal age requirement…and we’re not going to even talking about the rest of the globe outside of Europe and the USA, because it’s 100xs worse.
Edit: because some of you are unable to read and study history. The US was already a powerful nation preWWII…you got the Internet, use it for once.
Brave assumption, there might be some people outside the US who like them, but I guess that’s true for all countries.
I for my part started hating the US, it’s such a bad development for humanity, since capitalism/oligarchy takes over.
Even China starts to look good in comparison…
Also:
world stability for a huge portion of the globe
Just LOL. Probably the force that causes the biggest global instability. Do I have to mention Iran as most recent event?
There might’ve been a period where that might’ve been true, but it certainly isn’t anymore.

The word liked is used here in the terms of economic stability. Plenty of people hate the US and want it out of their countries, but it does provide protection that a lot of countries want.

Prior to the turnip, there is a reason that the USD is the worlds reserve currency. This is just a fact.

Never said it was, the turnip in charge has done more to damage our allies and reputation in the last year than the last 50 years of wars.
As in why? It’s because we dump a massive amount of money into our military might and play world police. The majority of us want out, but we’ve created a monster that everyone hates but relies on.
The US was already a powerful nation preWWII, it’s why we joined ww1 and it’s why we had been expanding for decades prior to this. 1898 is the agreed upon time when it was already powerful and what could be considered a superpower.
At the close of World War II—the deadliest conflict in human history—British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared that the United States stood “at the summit of the world.”
Your own source all but says post-WW2 is when the U.S. became a world superpower.
Learn how domestic expansion and three wars—the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II—transformed the United States’ standing in the world.
There’s also the summary at the very top
I could find more, but it’s pretty well agreed upon that post-WW2 was when the U.S. became a world superpower.
Hell, the article you linked to said the U.S. enacted an isolationist policy post-WW1.
I really hate to naysay you on this, but the US starting pointless wars over random shit is not a new thing with Trump. It got marginally worse sure, and I’d agree there some stability problems that got worse in the past year, but the US is mostly an economic powerhouse largely driven by the military industrial complex, which did indeed get kick-started by their late entry into WW2. There’s a reason the US economy goes into overdrive every time they start a war. This is a self perpetuating problem that has been going on for nearly as long as living memory unfortunately.
I completely disagree with this type of unnuanced view. yeah war generally is point less so this could be said about every country that has had war. korea was proxy and viet nam was kinda taken over from france. in proxy wars either side could stop being involved. The sudden attacks on venezuela and iran are really out of no where. I would say the closest we have to this is the second iraq but even then they spent a bunch of time at least trying to rationalize it. Up until now many allies have been involved before moves were made.
They were a pillar in world science infrastructure, they brought peace to world sea trading due to the dominance of their navy fleet, and hollywood helped spread liberal ideals worldwide.
Yes, they started proxy wars for privateering purposes, and have let their neoliberal tendencies dominate their politics, but Americans on the whole as well as European countries under the umbrella of their protection seemingly thrived under it.
Now they’re demanding tribute. Actively dismantling their umbrella of influence, and defunding any progressive thought in sciences and culture. This is a new trend.

lol, no.
You can lol all you want but there is a reason why the majority of the world uses the USD as the reserve currency.
Facts are facts. Agree with it or not.
It’s also a fact that the US started multiple long wars for oil or influence.
Sure there is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system
And this negates my point how? Or was that to back up my point?
I do not see that as the US being the benevolent beacon of freedom and safety they claim to be, no.
What is that reason? Be specific.
As in why? It’s because we dump a massive amount of money into our military might and play world police. The majority of us want out, but we’ve created a monster that everyone hates but relies on.
You sure can rely on the US meddling in global affairs when they have no right yeah. All you need is the “might” right?
Are you unaware of the petrodollar being enforced with violence while accusing others of being ignorant?
Where did I say that it’s not? Our military and economic power is the reason for the why it’s used. Doesn’t make what I’ve said wrong.
Everyone’s been warry of the US and slowly moving pieces to reduce reliance on them for at least a decade.
Yep…around the same time as…o yea trump1
Nope, we became a super power bcz of ww2, that is a fact. Whether you want to recognize that is irrelevant.

It’s not hard to understand this, in your hands you have basically the world’s entire knowledge and history. Try and read for once.

Nah the usa was so strong in say 1930, looool
The great depression effected the entire globe. Fucking hell you people are ignorant as fuck with history.
It’s fascinating how some people can be proven wrong again and again without even reflecting over why.
