Emmanuel Todd, widely recognized as one of the greatest living French intellectuals, says the best thing that could happen to Europe is "the disappearance of the US":
"Once the United States agree to withdraw from their empire, from Eurasia and all these regions where they maintain conflicts... Contrary to what we think - we say 'what will we become when the US no longer protects us?' - we will be at peace! The best thing that could happen to Europe is the disappearance of the United States."
Strange how every force that is militarily intervening to stop the genocide in Gaza is designated as a terrorist group by the U.S. while the entity carrying out the genocide receives weapons from the U.S. and is framed as a beacon of civilization, freedom and democracy 🤔
Pax Americana is an oxymoron. The best proof of that is that they unequivocally provoked the war in Ukraine and they're trying to provoke the same in Taiwan.
As for Israel I don't think anyone can argue it's bringing "pax" to its region...
In fact if one were to study the matter seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if they found out that the American world order was the most senselessly violent in human history. After all to my knowledge no other hegemonic power remained at war for 93% of its existence, even the Mongols were more peaceful. And certainly no other power killed 4 million people as the Americans did during their "war on terror" to get revenge for the death of 3,000 of their people, which will undoubtedly remain as one of the most unhinged use of power in history.
So the end of "Pax Americana" might be sad for Americans - although I suspect even they're tired by their endless wars - but will likely be a huge sigh of relief in much of the rest of the world. And this, by the way, is the real reason why it's ending.

Cuando los sionistas hablen de escudos humanos, recuerdales cuando los soldados sionistas encapuchados usaron como escudo humano a un niño palestino de 7 años en una protesta en Kafr Qaddoum (Cisjordania), en 2016.
Pusieron al niño delante mientras disparaban a los palestinos.
