WORLDbytes volunteers filmed this enthralling debate at the latest Battle of Ideas Festival. Panellists include Bronwen Maddox Chief Foreign Commentator of The Times, Professor Anatol Lieven and Spiked Online editor Brendan O'Neill. As they argue their case, speaker Brendan O'Neill tells us that while America may be the most powerful nation militarily, its role as the world policeman has diminished significantly in the post-Cold war era and its loss of mission is a defining feature.
