Ending Unipolarity

 The sooner Unipolarity (the US "rules based order," including sanctions against quite a number of very important countries, endless threats of new coups and wars and a long history of wars and coups, conducted with complete impunity) ends, the better for all of us.  That's assuming it ends with a whimper and not a bang, of course.

Will this be part of the glorious new victory by the Russian Federation under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, as maintained by such analysts as Pepe Escobar and TheSaker, and repudiated (reputiated?) by otherwise anti-hegemonic and anti-imperialistic Yasha Levine?

I hope so, even if it so happens it's accompanied by the expected-anyway Democratic losses in 2022 and 2024, which I would not otherwise count as a good thing (unless, far out in the lands of improbability, it became the genesis of a new labor-and-peace-and-environment replacement majority party, but that's really too much to dream, sadly).

It remains, the most key issue, or at least part of the issue of scaling back the hegemonic imperialism which has fouled up both the country (more and more a country of bullshit slaves and ruling idiocy--as happens to every empire, it has rotted at the core, not that it was so wonderful to begin with either) and the world, and the endless distraction and even being further disabled from attacking the most ultimate important issue of our time (well, second to nuclear annihilation but more certain): Global Heating.

But I suppose there is some issue about what this new wonderful new Hegemonic Order look like?  If only it were being engineered by the Chinese I could see it as being decent.  In fact, maybe just make them the new imperial hegemon and get it over with.  Now.

But the very idea of Multipolarity means that the US has not "lost," something it never admits anyway.  It means the US (and Russia and perhaps others) are still strutting across the world stage, well, much as before World War II back to the beginning of History.  Which hasn't always been very nice.

A violent end to Unipolarity won't be a good omen.  But violence was always going to be the way it ended, the only question is how much violence.  That is the question put to the great global computer at this moment, though the answer might be forthcoming somewhat later.  I don't question chessmaster Putin's determination, February 2022 was probably the best moment in decades for Russia to perform a strategic defeat of hegemony and its allied extremist forces.  The hegemony would do best to call it victory and go home, it's not like there hasn't been a lot of practice.
