That's called the carrot
The beauty of the United States' global hegemony is that it also has lots of sticks
- graemep 4mo agoSufficient sticks to get China to agree to the same rules? Overseen by whom?
- cmrdporcupine 4mo agoLess and less every day. Funny thing about beating people with sticks (or even threatening to) is they tend to want to get out of way and stay away from you.
- estearum 4mo agoAgreed!
- verdverm 4mo agoThose sticks look less effective today. The hegemony is in recession as the rest of the world smiles, pays omage to dear leader as needed, and works to decouple in the background.
- optimalsolver 4mo agoDude, their mighty navy can't even get the Strait open.
- potsandpans 4mo agoWhat hegemony are you speaking of? The kind that can consistently keep a straight open?
