@CloudyMrs absolutely. Sunakered or Kid Starver is hardly a grand choice here.
By no means do I contend the USA is *the* model for a society, but it’s model has spread to become a dominant ‘civilisation’ within which values, rules, beliefs & norms are largely shared. And it uses hard/soft power to convert others.
The current geopolitical struggle is IMO about ‘dominance’, or at least shaking out a new world order. Let’s hope it isn’t a violent process.
