USA rules the world. Think Petro-Dollar. At the end of World War II, the US through the Federal Reserve, discovered Oil in Saudi Arabia. We financed their oil empire and removed them from the dark ages. Aramco. In return they agreed to trade all oil (OPEC) with US dollars as the word's reserve currency. In other words, if you don't have the exact currency needed, you can always trade in US dollars. Eventually US dollars wer preferred.
This propped up the value of the US dollar but it also gave rise to American protectionism. We had to fight to keep the US dollar on the oil exchange markets. War for Oil…. We bartered off our Federal lands (US forests) to foreign nations to finance our wars. China holds the deeds over much of the US. We abandoned the gold standard when France tried to call in our debts. Fiat currency was born. Now we could print money out of thin air. The US became incredibly rich. Our military industrial complex was fully funded. The swamp was born. We progressed to the point to where no other nation could challenge us. Not even the USSR. We fought to keep our dollar needed and took out people like Gaddafi whenever they challenged our hegemony.
To answer your question. They world is not stupid. They are scared. The US has been setting the political standard for the last 70 years for the rest of the word. Either follow suit or face economic sanctions. Or even worse, military intervention. HRC did say "why can't we just drone his ass"? We push a button and you are dead. So the rest of the world follows suit. (((THEY ))) have controlled the US since 1913 but their reign is coming to an end. Lynn we can hear you breathing. You unleashed the monster. Now the sheep are sheep no more.
