No I'm a realist and realize that all candidates (CERTAINLY China and Russia, but even EU if we're honest) are far, far worse than "the American empire".

- MiguelX413 7mo agoHow is the EU worse?
- spwa4 7mo agoLast time any part of the EU was anything close to hegemonic was before WW2. Perhaps you should look up how peaceful that period was.
- MiguelX413 7mo agoI don't think it follows.
- sveme 7mo agoMultipolar doesn't mean replacement of hegemon. It's also two different things, you might be right that China, Russia or the EU would be worse as a hegemon, but that doesn't imply that it wouldn't happen. Being a realist would imply that you would understand that a fundamentally worse hegemon could still replace an existing hegemon.
