City-states are awesome Martin. The only way to balance power is to distribute it, and city states do that beautifully. The UN, on the other hand, is a looming tyranny that would collect all power to itself if given an opportunity.
The UN is an American institution, just like all the rest.
World Bank, IMF, WTO, NATO, etc, it's all America.
If Americans do not defend and uphold them, nobody else would.
There is only one free country, and as such, it is the only one country in the end.
Well Regulated Militia, there is no one else.
The liberal order ? Us and those like us, nobody else is defending anything, everybody else is a passenger.
China ? Russia ? India ? Without America, they would collapse into civil disorder.
Without FDR, there is no UN, he created it, from scratch.
If America said tomorrow ; there is no UN, it would be gone, just like that,
The UN replaced the League of Nations, both are US created entities, and both have ended up becoming useless because of the people we have allowed into them.
As for the rest, if the US collapsed, the world would go into a dark age... just as with what happened when Rome collapsed. The US isn't like Russia, or even the EU... for if the EU collapsed Europe would go into a Dark Age again, but the US due to the lack of coherence of China right now, would be able to maintain its world dominance by becoming the world producer again.
The US has a massive infrastructure that is laying dormant... I am waiting for the time that machine wakes up again. For me though, I think it's closer than most people realize. If China keeps going the way it is, we may see it start to waken before Trump's final year in his second term.
Whatever, I'm just loving it. No fears on earth, land of the free, home of the brave, there's nothing better.
You can give me a million reasons to walk away, but I just need one to love America, and I'm good like that.

Fear is what keeps you alive, as long as you don't let fear control you. Realize where the fear is coming from, confront it, and either squash it, or make it go away... but never ignore it.
You can love America like you love a ship, but when rats are invading the ship, and putting holes on it, you either got to get rid of the rats, fix the holes or abandon ship, it matters on what you are willing to do for it. Talking in platitudes about how much you love something is nice, but actions speak louder than words.
It's like an axe head arguing with a handle.
Both pretty useless without each other.
Farms are useless without cities?
Bzzzzzzt!
Try again.
Where do you think the farm's customers are?
Without the cities, you're just subsistence farmers wondering where the parts for your tractor are coming from.
Without the farms, your cities are wondering where the next meal is coming from.
Without both, you're just going backwards.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I'll love America as I please, if someone is want to try to stop me, send bachelors, come heavy.

Then you better be willing to defend it, because right now platitudes won't save a country attacked from within.
I walk tall and trust in the Lord, if someone bars my path, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
People who talk as religion is a shield hold no sway over me. You can wear your religion as a shield, you know what though, I know plenty of AlQueda that do the same thing, and honestly that much fervor into this kind of BS makes me sick.
The founding fathers were religious, but they were not zelots.

Good luck to you, citizen, I am at peace with my choices.
