    The US is still the leader of the West, whatever its policies are, they will greatly affect the people in these countries.

      The US isn’t a leader in anything they are imperialist and they meddle. It’s not leadership it’s influence. They’ve consolidated political, economic, and military power and they use all of those to varying degrees to meddle in everyone’s affairs

        Let’s discuss semantics instead of the hegemony they still have over our countries as they descend into a dictatorship and drag us down with them.

          It’s not just semantics the idea that the US is leading implies passive influence rather than active influence.

          They’re leading not through inspiration and innovation but as they would with a leash.
