Sadly the entire western world depends on the US as a stable and rational actor.

The “western world” is imperialist, and the rest of the world would be better off without the “stability” allowing it to plunder them.

This is bigger than you.

This is bigger than the imperial core, which represents a minority of the world in terms of population, landmass, natural resources, and production.
