It would be interesting to see what DP posters think might be the appropriate role(s) for the USA to play at the international level in the future. Weighing the costs and benefits of any role should be considered in posting. It might also be informative if posters included whether they live within the USA or whether they live outside the USA. So an American citizen living in Mexico would be outside and a Vietnamese citizen living in America would be inside.
Here is a partial list of roles but please feel free to add to or ignore the list.
I am from outside the USA and I would like to see the US gravitate towards numbers 3, 6, 8 and 9 on the list eventually, but I'm aware that might be unrealistic given the role it's playing internationally now. What say you? Feel free to copy and add to the list in future posts. Feel free to ignore items but please, for the sake of a standard numeration, don't delete items from copied lists. Please add any commentary you wish.
Cheers.
