Does "policing the world" include all foreign military deployments or just kinetic interventions (or something in between)?

There would be significant ramp ups in military spending then, with the removal of military bases from foreign countries. There's been a deal in place (implicitly for the most part) that America will provide defense if those countries play ball and use dollars.
It would save Americans a ton of money and be better for hundreds of thousands of military families. I doubt the concessions we're currently getting benefit normal Americans much, but they're great for the regime.
Assuming we're also including the CIA and other covert meddling, I think we'll discover that a lot of global conflict has been a creation of the American regime.
