After World War II ended, the U.S. regime slaughtered or assisted in slaughtering, between 1945 and 2007 (and not even counting more recently, such as in Syria and Yemen), “between 20 and 30 million people in wars and conflicts scattered over the world”. (This count also doesn’t include the numbers, such as in Iraq after the 1990 war, which died as a result of U.S.-initiated sanctions against countries that America’s billionaires wanted to bring under their control that weren’t yet under their control.)
What U.S. Hegemony Is, How It Started, and WhenSouth Front
Well, I hate to make the counterargument but US hegemony could be seen as a good thing. It stopped nuclear proliferation and adds a security umbrella for many nations around the Earth. This all really started after the Cold War which was supposed to bring the Pax Americana and the End of History. I also think that the Cold War was a time where both sides enacted horror in the battle of ideologies (Vietnam?). Still, Russia would probably be ravaging Europe if Trump was truly allowed to bring down NATO. We have the military and we use it to bring peace in a somewhat convoluted way.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
