It is a mystery to me why the US never responded to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the ending of the Cold War. The bulwark of NATO defensive stance was maintained even with the ending of the Warsaw Pact. Instead of making peace, the US surged forward to assert its dominance as sole superpower backed up by European allies in NATO. Far from playing the role of world policeman to protect global peace, the US went on a rampage to destabilize any nation that would not fall in line and accept US's rule-based order. NATO started wars in Eastern Europe leading to conflict in Ukraine in direct confrontation with Russia.

The emergence of China threw a monkey wrench into US hegemonic ambition.
