False dilemma fallacy

  I do not think so, in this case, if we didn’t become hegemonic someone else would. Look at the Middle East and all the jockeying around within. Same for East Asia. The question is given someone will be stronger and exert power, who in a game theory framework would exercise their dominion with the least negative consequences. I’m confident most people would agree that the world is better off not having succumbed to Comintern communism. But regardless, what were the plausible alternative realities that you think were viable options given what we know?

  The least fallacious fallacy next to the Slippery Slope fallacy. If it's not US, Russia or China on top, then it is somebody else. What had the Romans ever done for us?!
