If the Russians or Chinese try to fill the role of nation building, then they will fail just as badly as we have.
I actually said “world’s policeman” not “nation building”. Maybe they’d be smarter than us and not attempt nation building. Maybe they’d just bomb the crap out of whoever was irritating them on a given day.
So if we give up cop, where’s the incentive to maintain our power? If we are not involved and leading the world and we lose our distinct military advantages, whoever becomes cop can and will make us miserable. Furthermore, they could do so without directly attacking us.
