America\u2019s Worldwide Role<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, I want to discuss America\u2019s role as the world leader\u2026\u00a0 how we got here and why it matters.\u00a0 Many within the current generations of people in this country today\u00a0 \u2014especially those in leadership positions\u2014\u00a0 are espousing isolationist viewpoints\u2026\u00a0 which flies in the face of important historical events.<\/p>\n

Additionally, egoically-dominated leadership choices are creating an exponentially critical situation for our country and by extension\u2026\u00a0 for the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

Sadly, a majority of the younger generations of Americans are unaware of our unique position and responsibility…\u00a0 or its importance in world politics and societal balance\u2026\u00a0 so I will highlight it here to hopefully create a perspective where rational thought and responsible choices can germinate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WORLD LEADERSHIP ROLE<\/span><\/h4>\n

Our united States are the current, de-facto, world leader because of circumstances forced on past generation\u2019s leadership during the early 1940\u2019s. \u00a0This occurred because unrest that carried over from WWI erupted into armed conflict in Europe, in 1939.\u00a0 The united States leadership did not respond to that conflict until our country was attacked in 1941.<\/p>\n

Then, both leadership and citizens alike created a unified team whose focus was to defend and conquer those who declared war\u2026\u00a0 who opposed those ideals and values highlighted in our founding documents.<\/p>\n

Those generations of Americans sacrificed their way of life\u2026\u00a0 living in virtual poverty and deprivation\u2026\u00a0 devoting all their resources and energy to not only producing the machinery to repel those assaults, but also many within the younger generations personally committed to participate in the dire global effort as well.<\/p>\n

Within a space of 4 grueling years, American leadership and citizens produced the machinery, armament, as well as supplied manpower necessary to both assist our allies, and forge our own victories…\u00a0 turning the tide of battle and defeating those who declared war on our united States.\u00a0 As the recent movie Oppenheimer highlighted<\/a><\/span>\u2026\u00a0 a critical and decisive part of this machinery created another world dilemma, and ushered in mankind\u2019s most daunting challenge\u2026\u00a0 our ability to now make our planet uninhabitable through nuclear destruction.<\/p>\n

The direct toll on the US was more than 330,000 American soldiers killed\u2026\u00a0 with many more permanently injured or maimed.\u00a0 The only salvation for our country was that it was not directly impacted by the ravages and destruction that the rest of the world suffered.<\/p>\n

After treaties were signed, the US leadership and citizens directed resources\u00a0 \u2014both technology and money\u2014\u00a0 to help rebuild those parts of the world that suffered the destruction of war.\u00a0 We developed new technologies and processes that provided the necessary know-how for the mammoth rebuilding efforts, and thus, the US became a dominant and driving leadership force in world progress and finance.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the evolution of the “petro-dollar”<\/span><\/a> is the direct result of US development and participation of the mid-east oil fields.\u00a0 This would not have been possible without American technology, resources, manpower and funding.\u00a0 Our involvement\u00a0 \u2014in Europe, the middle-east, and Asia\u2014\u00a0 made us the de-facto world leader.<\/p>\n

\n
Effectively, the US replaced England in its position of “Empire”\u2026
\nwithout the territorial trappings.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Instead the US created alliances that benefited our participation and those other country\u2019s new infrastructure.\u00a0 In short, those generations of Americans earned our current position as a world leader through the investment of precious lives, technical knowledge, time and resources.\u00a0 We secured our place as a country that valued both independence and partnership\u2026\u00a0 not meddling, yet having their backs.<\/p>\n

And those past generations of American leadership took their responsibilities seriously\u2026\u00a0 understanding that even though they had suppressed those ideologies who meant to subvert and control populations for ulterior purposes\u2026 our leadership understood they were not extinguished, and required vigilance to keep them contained.<\/p>\n

And thus\u2026 mankind\u2019s struggle for balance between
\nfreedom and control recorded another chapter in human history.<\/em><\/span><\/h6>\n

Sadly, because of exponential advancements in technologies\u2026\u00a0 our current world populations are again being thrust into an unprecedented position that no other generations have faced in human history.<\/p>\n

A combination of exponential human population growth\u00a0 \u2014now over 8 billion souls\u2014 \u00a0combined with many culturally paralyzing technological advancements has put our world population and its leadership in another critical situation\u2026\u00a0 one that will determine mankind\u2019s very existence on our planet very quickly.<\/p>\n
