IMO, the United States still very much has its hegemony. Although Trump has certainly damaged the United States’s reputation…my government unfortunately still has tremendous power and money. For Christ’s sake, we control the financial system.
My point is that a lot of the fucked-up stuff going on in the world is because of the US meddling in local affairs. For example, when the CIA toppled the government of <insert Latin American country here> because <insert corresponding socialist leader here> was popularly elected, and allowing even statist socialism to spread would be inconvenient for the American political project.
That, and a lot of governments play “follow the leader” with the US. So anything monstrous we do, other world leaders are going to follow eventually.
Military power is not taken seriously anymore! Superpowers cannot even defeat very small countries, like you guys lost against Syria, Thailand, Afganistan… The most recent example is Russia losing against Ukraine! Sure you have a lot of nukes, but almost all countries are in such alliances where through one way or another they are also protected by nukes + the international outrage if anyone used them would be so estronomical that even a deranged dictatorship like Russia doesn’t risk it
You guys spend far far far more on keeping the dollar the national currency then what you benefit from that and donnie is currently severing your trade with other countries
Your hegemony is thankfully over!I think you are really overestimating your influence! Say the world is and was very much so open to china despite your fluctuating relationship with them!
…but the world is fucked up though… and tbh, the United States and its hegemony has had a lot to do with it unfortunately.
Via its ex-hegemony (Ty daddy Tramp) do you mean the the consistent negative effect it had on the world ever since they claimed?
