Treba je priznati, zelo dobra analiza Vladimirja Putina (spodaj) o samodestrukciji ZDA kot globalnega hegemona po letu 1990. Zgodba nekako spominja na samodestrukcijo LDS po močni zmagi leta 2000, na samodestrukcijo Cerarjeve SMC po (pre)močni zmagi leta 2014 in na samodestrukcijo Golobovega GS po (pre)močni zmagi leta 2022. Premočna zmaga, odsotnost enako močnega nasprotnika kot protiuteži lastni moči in želja po uničenju potencialne konkurence (tudi med zavezniki) zmagovalca zapelje v neizvane strateške napake in končno samodestrukcijo, uravnoteženost nasprotnikov pa spodbuja stalni boj in inovativnost za ohranitev ravnotežja moči.
The United States is a big and unique country in its own way. It took the people of America only 300 years to turn it into a superpower; this is a relatively short period, by our standards. This is an obvious fact.
We also know outstanding American politicians; we know outstanding American businesspersons and cultural figures. All this is incontestable.
Our countries were allies during both world wars, while fighting Nazism and fascism. What has happened since?
We know that after the war and after their allied relations, the United States and the Soviet Union started dividing the world. They successfully carved it up, built international relations and created the contemporary system of international law under this balance of power.
Later, the Soviet Union disintegrated for a number of reasons, which I won’t go into now, but it was mainly because of domestic reasons. Only one superpower, the United States, remained. How did your elite take advantage of this monopoly, this world domination? That’s the question.
I believe the United States has failed to cope with the burden of responsibility it took on.
