Ive seem some posts and comments saying stuff where the US test weapons on european citizens, where the US extracted criminals from european countries (mainly Italy) because they where from the US army or the inteligence agencies, where they sacrificed european and japanese economies during US crisis, where they tested weapons on soldiers of their own allies without their consent, where he spyed on european leaders, where they extracted people that angried the US using illegal means and reasons (Assange is a good example of this) and much more shit.
How many of this cases are out there? How fucked is the relationship between the US and its allies that it constantly abuses them just because he can?
That’s precisely the paradigm the US defends when they talk about their dearest “international rules based order.” It’s a very clear case of rules for thee but not for me. There’s just no alternative at this point in time. The US is still (now by just the tiniest of margins) the single pole of a unipolar world. Your options, as a nation or as a political movement, are to be with the US or against it. So the supposed allies of the US tolerate this behavior, as they are well aware that however poorly the US treats them while they are allied, their treatment as “enemies” would be even worse.
Yes, although I might go as far to say that the event horizon has been crossed and we are now in a multipolar world, albeit still in its childhood.
