    Yep. I object to its balkanization, which a lot here seem to vote for, but you can’t the biggest kid on the block and bully the other kids who disagree with you.

    It needs to get taken down a peg or two.

    Unfortunately, the next Top Dog(s) are almost certain to do the same (or similar) bullshit; the cycle continues - the US is not particularly unique.

      The US is absolutely unique, lol. Unique in its cruelty and unique in the speed at which it gained global hegemonic power, and now unique in the speed at which its crumbling. Fascinating stuff!

        Naw, there are higher records in all three cases.

        An example for the first (though cruelty is hard to measure objectively):

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrocities_in_the_Congo_Free_State

        For the second:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_Empire

        Here’s a list of the third, admittedly debatable which supersede the US depending on when you define each individual beginning of the end and end of the end, but you’ll find at least one that suits you if you’re being honest:
