US politics is global politics. Some government policy might start wars, other policy might end wars. Wars that are overseas, somewhere close to you


US domestic culture war bullshit is decidedly not global politics.


I'm afraid it is - For example, the gender debate leads to other countries introducing draconian laws against the LGBT communities. Some days it's all they talk about on Russian TV. Same for the race debate, it seems some politicians don't know which society they are fighting for. There were people in Sweden demanding government action because of the George Floyd incident. US domestic culture wars do spread globally because of the dominance of US media.
