How America is WINNING in Ukraine

The war may be bad for others, but it is GREAT for the United States

The war in Ukraine is a tragedy. But for the USA, it is a dark cloud with a silver lining — or perhaps better said, a gold one.

The conflict in Ukraine, for the United States, fulfils two strategic objectives. First, it provides a much needed boost to the U.S. economy, and second, it eliminates the European Union as a strategic and economic competitor.

It’s Lonely at the Top

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the U.S. became the world’s “lone superpower”. I was in my 30’s at the time, and I remember the chants of USA! USA! became very popular, and it seems now like they have never really died down. In fact, while Americans may not be the most knowledgable people in the world, they are sure of one thing: The USA is Number One.

On a geo-strategic level, this meant that the U.S. had to defend its hegemony; it had to be ever-vigilant, to guard against the potential rise of an opponent who could challenge its position at the top.

Now, most people would think that the only challengers to American hegemony are China and Russia, and they could be forgiven for thinking so. After all, this is exactly what the U.S. elites want you to think.

But that is not exactly true. For there is another challenger to the economic and financial hegemony of the American Empire: Europe.
