America has the largest military budget in the world. We spend more than like the next 6 countries combined. Including China which, has the largest military manpower in the world. And Russia, the largest nation in the world that's currently being stalemated by a neighboring nation who's navy consists of patrol boats. The US has the most overseas bases in the world and the countries that come close are our allies, and we dwarf them.This is true
This is not true
The American hegemony is so strong and ingrained in the global economy and politics that any nation looking to thrive needs to play nice with the states. And I'm not even dikk riding. No country by itself, can afford to stand up the US. And since the fall of the USSR, we break up any non-US friendly alliances....or cripple them through political moves.
