Relax, Comrade Putin. The USA is not going to attack Iran.

Uh, are we?

It's good that a European power is trying to at least have a say against US hegemony. But, is it genuine anti-imperialism or perhaps just a power play?

Latest developments in Russian politics would suggest the latter unfortunately.

Do you disapprove of US hegemony?

After all it has helped avoid any world wars since 1945, and is a major boost to the US economy.

And if there is going to be only one superpower then thank God it's America (or Britain)!

I wonder how many people realise that the Iraq war is all about maintenance of US hegemony for the foreseeable future?

And it helped start some others...

This is true. But it has also opened some new avenues for economic exploitation and oppression around the world.

History has shown us that, no matter what nation holds the role of superpower, the privileged are always thankful that it is them who hold all the power.

At least I have realized that fact.
