I tried to explain sth to my students today and I simply stuck. What I wanted to refer to is America/ the USA being world �s watchdog/ police officer.
I can �t for the life of me remember the exact wording of it - but what I had in mind was that the USA prides itself on being a leading defender of democracy/ freedom but has the same issues to resolve on their home turf
is it correct to say: the USA as a watchdog? as a world �s police officer? Or is it another way of saying this? |

Hello,
I can say a lot right now but I �ll be banned forever when I open my mouth about this so, I won �t... 
did you mean something like... big brother is watching you?....

You could use either one:
the world �s watch dog
the world �s police (officer) |
