Read the article and it made me think about just how long the US hegemony will last, it's array of tools deployed against the rest of humanity is vast:
- It blackmails the rest of the globe with the biggest nuclear deterrence across land, sea, air and probably space.
- It ensures trading routes remain open by muscling American naval and air superiority. Not to benefit others or play fair, it's there to benefit American interests.
- It actively undermines and spies under 3 letter acronyms, including it's own citizens and allies to benefit American corporarchy [1]
- It consistently outspends the rest of the world combined on it's military upkeep which guarantees it's #1 postion.
Just how long on earth will such superficially-democratic superpower maintain it's hegemony? It's like holding everyone hostage and telling them to trade with each other by selling their own clothing or body with the US taking a cut on every transaction.
This is fucked.
