The revolution of the United States foreign policy following the civil war has steadily advanced and this has resulted in the formation of regional and international policies. United States military policy openly calls for full spectrum supremacy over all possible opponents, in every class of warfare, for the unknown future. This policy covers the mechanism of the earth’s outer space and atmosphere, where countless disastrous weapons have recently been used.
Under no circumstances in world history has one country applied such power over the rest of the world or taken out such massive economic advantage. By the mid-20th century, the United States had become the leading force in international relations. Some have argued that the United States military operates as the world police. This is evident in the recent participation of the United States military in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, and other parts of the Middle East. Currently, the United States has been the perfect instance of the police of the world. This particular piece of work is meant to discuss that the United States military should operate as the world police by depicting the recent operations in different parts of the world.
