Desperation of American Imperialism

[ハイイロギツネ]

Tariffs, trade wars and threats against both rivals and allies reveal the desperation of American imperialism to maintain its hegemony in the face of long-term economic decline.

Americans are desperate but can they really maintain their hegemony against the Chinese new world order?

[Agenda 2025]

It will be nice watching the Chinese bomb the little countries for a change.

China has ALOT of diplomacy ahead before it could ever become an actual hegemony.

Its geographic place and its neighbours hold it back alot.

Russia would need to be "finlandized"

Japan would need to be friendly

The koreas would need to be united

and Australia would need to be china's buddy..

there are other issues too,

right now china could be destroyed by 2 blockade points and 40 glide bombs hitting a dam.

That's a military hegemony though.

China can become the new world order peacefully.

China is becoming the new superpower through trade and prosperity.

Europe and Ukraine should make peace with Russia and China. U.S. is leaving NATO.

No, They have alot of diplomacy to do.

they can score alot of tactical diplomacy on the world stage but true strategic gains will be few and far between till they fix what i stated above + a bit more like india disputes, philippines, ect

China was dealt a bad hand by geographic realities

With full respect to the apparent "modern" definition of "imperialism", I wouldn't say the US is desperate, given Russian Imperialism in Ukraine, and Chinese Imperialism in Nepal, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, to say nothing of its global imperialism through its infrastructure initiatives. In both instances, those countries are trying to colonize other nations, spreading both their economic and physical impact.

By contrast, the US draws business to itself regularly, more than its economy can reasonably handle, hence the outsourcing of production business and the resultant moves towards domestic industry and isolationism. As if that weren't enough, more people want to go TO the US than any other place in the world, which makes for a very curious version of imperialism.

By these metrics, wherein any from of territorial or economic expansion is imperialism, as well as any withdrawal, every single country in the world is imperialist. Of those, the US is the LEAST desperate imperialist country by far, because wealth and people constantly flow into it. Indeed, without the US dollar a the global reserve currency, every nation in the world would be even MORE desperate by comparison. Much of their economic ability comes from the world's faith in the US dollar.

That begs the question; Who came up with this retarded definition of imperialism if every nation fits it? Naturally, it's the people who claim they are NOT Imperialists by their own definition, despite being everything they claim to hate about imperialism ratcheted up to 11. It's everyone's favorite group of narcissistic, projecting, insufferable jerks: the Communists.


One might apply those realities to any people, depending upon perspective, but only the Communists claim to have the universal answer to everything, for everyone, at all times, if you just give them enough power. At least actual Imperialism requires some manner of merit, or at least conquest before it fails, but Communism skips straight to tyranny and never recovers, claiming its the smartest person in the room the entire time.

The very idea that the US is imperialistic, by the real definition of the word, is idiotic. The US is not an empire, it does not mandate the reign of a monarchy, it does not require subjugation to a single, centralized authority, it does not consider other parts of the world or people parts of itself, and it doesn't even actively pursue any kind of cultural hegemony within its own borders. One might as well claim that food is imperialistic just because people are drawn to it. Oh, and of course, the Commies claim that as well: "Agriculture was the start of class warfare..blah...blah...derp"

Big talk from Spain, you aren't even in the top 10 global compute rankings, so far behind.

No one should take your advice on anything.

[Hobbit XIII]

Spain: we will hide behind the rest of Europe from the Russian problem.

Whatever are you going on about? I asked a question.

I'm not a country neither do I represent any country as a delegate or politician, hahaha.

We're on the off topic section of a videogame platform.

Your ancestors built the cities of America and expanded the thirteen colonies. I doubt you could lay a foundation or grow a small vegetable allotment, let alone built a city or aggregate the land.
