The world bully/mafia is the U.S.

Question

The world bully/mafia is, by far, the US.

Did you notice how it threatened Canada and Denmark (Greenland) and literally everyone just took it?

I don't like any of this, but we need a kind of balance.  US moves in Ukraine utterly destroyed the balance forcing Russia to react.

Answer 1

This claim is false and the right term for the US is world leader not world bully. When researching this topic I noticed many sources saying that certain US leaders are bullies, not the US as a whole. For example, Foreign Policy says, "Trump, Musk, and their minions appear to be convinced that they can bully the entire world." (https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/12/30/trump-bully-world-america-foreign-policy/) Not only does Foreign Policy talk about leaders bullying but so does Richard Lowenthal in his article, No One Likes Bullies. He states, "Trump thinks he can bully the entire world into submission." (https://medium.com/this-america/no-one-likes-bullies-b8ec9688d94f) Moving past the world bully idea we can focus on the world leader idea. The US leads the world in many categories and is a very successful nation. According to US News and World Report, "The United States of America is a North American nation that is the world’s most dominant economic and military power." (https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/united-states) This quote shows how the world leads in some very important categories that prove that the US is a leader. In conclusion, the US may have leaders that are bullies but overall the US is not a bully but instead a leading nation.
