United States Hegemony and its Perils! | Part I | Thinking Out Loud
In this episode of his "Thinking Out Loud" series, Double D examines a memorandum from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs which outlines and condemns United States Hegemony. Double D uses alternative sources and analysis to fact check and add more perspective to the document.
Jumping in to the video, Double D reads excerpts from the Chinese Foreign Ministry memorandum, outlining the "five pillars of U.S. Hegemony", political, military, economic, technological, and cultural. Double D highlights the U.S. abuse of political hegemony, citing color revolutions, which he examines further using a political analysis published in the Westminster Papers by Professor Gerald Sussman. He shows how the U.S. will use mass propaganda, front funding organizations, and public manipulation to turn social movements in a country into a push for regime change. Using the Westminster analysis, Double D cements the fact that despite "democracy" rhetoric surrounding color revolutions, the vast majority of resources dumped in to this political engineering revolves around "free market" reforms.
Moving on, Double D examines the history of the United States abusing its political hegemony to manipulate international diplomacy. He starts by focusing on the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), showing how the U.S. repeatedly used domestic partisanship as an excuse to slow diplomacy around the banning of chemical and biological weapons. He shows how the U.S. used its political influence to secure "special considerations" around the CWC, ensuring that the U.S. answered to no-one surrounding chemical weapon testing or disarmament verification. He notes also that the U.S. secured the right to determine which sites could be inspected. Using a resource from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Double D shows how even with "full compliance" on the CWC, the United States has secured the capacity to continue developing and mobilizing certain chemical and biological weapons systems.
Double D then goes on to examine the United States withdrawal from international nuclear weapons treaties, citing the "Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty" as well as the Open-Skies Treat. Double D uses this example to examine United States Nuclear Policy, quoting both Biden and the State Department in the use of "first-strike policy", noting that the United States is the only country on Earth to suggest that they may use nuclear weapons to preserve national interests, rather than a policy of simple deterrence under Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) stance, which is canon for most countries. Double D then cites the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft so examine times throughout history that the United States has engaged in Nuclear Brinksmanship by threatening to use nuclear weapons, dating as recently as the Clinton Administration, who threatened North Korea with warheads if they didn't abandon their nuclear reactor program.
Segueing from nuclear policy, Double D examines how the U.S. stance has been implemented in the Indo-Pacific region. Citing an article from Nikkei-Japan, he outlines the U.S. policy of "Nuclear Encirclement", showing how the United States has invested tens of billions of dollars to develop a "precision-strike missile system" in the first island chain surrounding China in conjunction with a second island chain air defense system. Double D explains how this is an attempt to secure "nuclear primacy" in the region, by implementing first-strike capabilities that could destroy China's nuclear infrastructure before they have the chance to retaliate. Double D asks his audience to consider the existential and suicidal nature of such a policy, and asks them to consider how the U.S. would react to a similar policy in the Caribbean.
Rounding off the video, Double D examines the argument presented in the memorandum that claims "the U.S. uses a false democracy vs authoritarianism rhetoric" to justify its imperial agenda. He quotes a recent study from the Alliance of Democracies Foundation that suggests that China lives in a healthier democracy when compared to the United States. He goes on to examine more statistics from this study that suggest a majority of the world sees the United States as a threat to international democracy.
