Why not a de-Americanized world?

Why not a de-Americanized world?

• Just because China wants it does not mean it is a bad thing.
• The U.S. encouraging the powers of Europe, India and Japan to better defend themselves and be active in world affairs only frees up American resources and wealth making us stronger in the long run.
• Believe it or not, for a thousand years Europe and Asia somehow managed to exist without the U.S. dictating policy and spending trillions in American wealth to buy "friends".

China’s official news agency has called for the creation of a “de-Americanized world”, saying the destinies of people should not be left in the hands of a hypocritical nation with a dysfunctional government.

Heaping criticism and caustic ridicule on Washington, the Xinhua news agency called the US a civilian slayer, prisoner torturer and meddler in others’ affairs, and said the ‘Pax Americana’ was a failure on all fronts.

With the #3 economy on earth Japan
should be taking a larger role in Asia.

The official news agency of China, which is seen as the pretender to the world’s superpower crown, then rubbed in more salt, calling American economic pre-eminence just a seeming dominance reports the International Business Times.

“As US politicians of both political parties are still shuffling back and forth between the White House and the Capitol Hill without striking a viable deal to bring normality to the body politic they brag about, it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanized world,” the editorial said.

It asks why the self-declared protector of the world is sowing mayhem in the financial markets by failing to resolve political differences over key economic policy.
"... the cyclical stagnation in Washington for a viable bipartisan solution over a federal budget and an approval for raising debt ceiling has again left many nations' tremendous dollar assets in jeopardy and the international community highly agonised," the agency said.

It is not the first time Chinese leadership and newspapers have criticised Washington over a policy paralysis that threatens to devalue its dollar assets.

The European Union
Why should the United States bankrupt itself in Don Quixote type quests around the world?
.
The economy of the European Union is larger than that of the United States.  The EU has large and modern militaries to defend their borders and France and the UK have nuclear weapons.
.
Europe is rich and powerful enough to easily act, if needed, as policeman for North Africa and the Middle East.  Most recently through NATO, Britain, France, Spain and Italy engaged Libyan forces to assist the rebels in the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.
