Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

    BRUH do any of these ‘worse’ authoritarian and cruel governments hold a global hegemony over others?

    The world would be a far more prosperous place if the US were wiped from it

      They would if they could. Brittany did during the age of sail, Spain before that. China would love to become the only global super power.

      I think the world would be worse off with Russia or China as the only super powers, as they have even worse democracy than the US, so their governments will can be further out of line with the people.

      And multiple super powers isn’t very good either, last time during the cold war it caused tones of loss of life from proxi wars. And direct war would be even worse.
