    russia and china don’t have the capability to launch a full scale attack on a country on the other side of the world. US government is able to attack iran because they have control all over the region and in between

      Russia and China are nuclear superpowers, they can turn any country into glass. Meanwhile, the US isn’t even able to produce weapons on its own with importing critical things like rare earths from China which the US isn’t capable of producing in any significant quantity. If you think that deindustrialized shithole that’s currently being outproduced by Russia militarily is a global hegemon, then I don’t know what else to tell you.

        North korea has nukes too, that doesn’t mean they have the capability to successfully attack any county in the world and kill the leader without any repercussions. It seem like you believe russia and china are better than US empire but that doesn’t automatically make them more powerful, combined the two countries doesn’t spend in war as half of what US does.
