@mike_kraft I think that’s just untrue. It’s like police abolitionism. Police are the source of a great deal of the violence we see, sure. Abolitionists assume no police and that violence disappears. It fails to account for the violence of others deterred by policing. For all the very real horrors you can blame the US for, overall “pax americana” has been very real. The great threat to world peace is its undoing.
