I do not see your point.
I strongly agree with:
russ_watters said:People don't start wars they know they will get crushed in.
But I wanted to point out the logical fallacy arising from:
russ_watters said:The fact that the landscape is so unfair (that the US dominates) is a big part of the reason the world is currently by far the most stable/peaceful it has ever been.
All I wanted to express is that single party domination is not leading to stability or peace (considering the first quote above), but the fact that there is no country/alliance which can consider itself safe from the threat of getting totally crushed - not even the dominating one - is.
