Can you imagine the US stops interfering in other country's affairs?

Hi, Triumph.  Every big brother has a tendency to poke his ugly nose into the affairs of the younger ones.  US is no exception.  Till the commencement of Second World War, the US was a non-interfering country and it was busy in the development of its own people.  When it became a super power, it started to think that it has got a right to inerfere in the affairs of other countries as if it is the protector of the entire globe.  This attitude of superiority complex has become the major hindrance for the international peace because some other countries also want to follow the same principle.

Once the military might of the USA is reduced, its dominance in the international trade and the Rule of Dollar as an international currency may also get affected. The current conflict only reflects the inter-connectivity between the military might and the international economic scenario. Coming days are very dicey and  decisive for the whole world.

If the USA threw the UN out of New York, it would likely decamp to Brussels (home of NATO, Council of Europe and capital of the European Union). I can't see the UN going anywhere else although I suspect one of the other Security Council members would offer to host it:- maybe London or Paris.\n\nIf the USA did this then they could either stay in the UN or leave. \n\nIf they decided to stay then I don't see much change from the status quo except everyone would decamp to another country. The USA might lose a bit of influence, but as it is still the most powerful economy in the Security Council and NATO, it would still be most able to act unilaterally in its own interest regarding world affairs. After all, no government in their right mind is going to stand up militarily to the US as has been seen in Afghanistan and Iraq.\n\nIf the USA were to leave, I guess the pro argument (from the US point of view) would be that they would be more able to act in whatever way they wished in world affairs, whether that be to withdraw completely from any world involvement or to force their will upon other countries with military backup.\n\nI can't see a pro argument for the USA leaving from other countries' point of view. The vast majority of countries look to the USA for world leadership, which is why they are trying so hard to get the USA onboard the Kyoto Protocol. The idea that any world issue can be resolved without the USA being onboard is naïve.\n\nThe main argument against the USA leaving the UN would be that it would set a precedent for other countries to follow. No doubt Russia and Israel would quickly follow suit so that they could go their own way in solving their own internal and external security problems. Maybe China, India, Brazil and the other big emerging markets would leave as well.\n\nI think what would be left would be Europe, South East Asia and Africa as these are the states that have most to gain out of the UN. Maybe Canada would stay as they are much more into consensus politics than is the USA, but the majority of others would leave.\n\nThe problem with this scenario is that world security, on a general level, would rapidly decrease, as there would be no supranational body to keep a check on the power of every country's government. There would be little consensus in world politics as countries went their own way politically. What we would be left with is a situation not much different from Europe pre-WW1, but on a global scale. The world would be governed by alliances between countries forming themselves into loose power blocs rather than with an overarching polity keeping a check on this.\n\nAs was seen in Sarajevo in 1914, the smallest action could trigger a conflict of massive proportions if there is no supranational body to keep watch. It took Europe until 1945 to realise that to stop a continual threat of war, some form of integration was needed to prevent war between countries. What we have seen in Europe since 1945 is truly amazing. Old enemies now resolve disputes in offices rather than on the battlefield. As a result the European citizen has a more secure life, is free to travel, free to say what he/she thinks... we've never had it so good.\n\nConversely, if there is no UN, then markets would likely collapse or depreciate due to a lack of security and the lives of people all over the world would no doubt get much harder.\n\nChris, Manchester, North-West England, United Kingdom, Europe.

I feel America does not want to control territory as such.It only wants to maintain its supremacy and balance of world power.Controlling new territories is not good for the USA instead it is troublesome for them to hold on to foreign countries.

There would be utter chaos. Their government is not strong enough to support itself and there would be groups trying to overthrow it. It would just lead to more violence than there is now. This is just a big mess that the United States has gotten itself into. There is nothing more we can do there but if we pull out it would probably be worse than it was before we went in. There's just no answer for how to solve this problem.

The American Empire will crumble.  We will be to China and India in the future, as Europe is to America today.  We will no longer control the wealth of the world.  With the lose of that foothold, we will lose our ability to control other nations.  That loss of power will erode our security to a critical point because of the amount of anti-American sentiment we have (and will) build up over the course of time due to our international arrogance.\nIn short, we will lose our civil liberties, our money, our power, and our pride.  We will be a shell of what we were.

Nope.  We have enough problems already without taking on those of the rest of the world too.

Do you really think the US beaurocrats and politicians would allow that to happen?  We aren't a super power because we sit back and twiddle our thumbs while others beat us out on something.  We'd find some reason to sanction them long before they surpassed us.

Hey, do you really think the US is kind old Uncle Sam ??? The US also wants its own Empire.

no, with the US here now, there is no world peace. It would be more violent though

During the Cold War, many countries relied on the protective umbrella offered by the US which included troops on the ground to ensure a commitment to defend our friends if attacked.  It did keep the peace.  Now that that particular threat is over it is not surprising that many countries wish to be far more independent.  Perhaps they had to like or lump US foreign policy then, but not now.  Only time will tell whether the world is really less dangerous, especially if there is little protective cooperation against terrorism.  I believe the US has that right.

The United States of America do doubt about it.

I think the US has pissed off enough of the world.  Better not piss of the neighbors!!

I don't understand why other countries don't meddle in US affairs - get the drift? You are asking for more chaos. Who regulates the US then? Should the whole world be subject to the whims of one government whether right or wrong?

Get your head out of the sand,dummy!  The US is not interested in any other country except those that mean harm to it or it's allies who the US has an obligation to protect.  If you mean other countries like Iran, N.Korea, Syria, Venezuela, I would be glad to explain each scenario, but I won't because you simply will not understand or will refuse to listen.\n\nSo, stay stuck on stupid and if you would like a better explanation, please re- phrase your question in a manner that makes it more palatable.

It is a possibility.  There are a few countries, including India and China, which are starting to gain in power and strength.  This is a good thing for world stability.  It is unhealthy for one country to be the ultimate superpower and to think it can run the entire world.  Increasing power gains by other countries will challenge the US and "put it in its place."

We started this, we have to bring it to an end. After we leave, then whatever happens... happens. The US achieved the vacuum of power that would now exist if we were to cut and run. Things are bad there now, but they are nothing like what would happen were we to immediately remove our troops. Forget the fighters......... every man with his heart must remember all the innocent victims that would loose their life without our presence there.
