The United States has several hundred military bases and over 200k soldiers stationed around the world. Much of the planet has been under military occupation by the global hegemon for the last 75 years. Trump is making moves towards ending NATO, and has stopped the military escalation in the middle east that would have turned Syria into a second Iraq, as well as moves to end the occupation of the Korean peninsula. Is this a good thing? Can the world function without the US playing the role of occupying power and world police?
