    Feeling real hopeful about our world's future after watching this. God damn America. It's in the Bible.

    Mr McCoy should realize the US is not a State Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and a non signatory of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination which safeguards the rights of women.

    Russian/Chinese hegemony harsher? He's joking, right?

      That American exceptionalism is deeply imprinted in their brains. The US was & is far from a benevolent hegemon that helps other weaker countries (maybe only Europe?) build more stable economies or societies. On the contrary, America has been pillaging the global south and trapping it in debt and destruction while overthrowing governments and grabbing their resources in a path of death and devastation. Hypocrisy at its finest to be worried about something that hasn't happened yet in reference to "China/Russia" being the global hegemons vs what is happening now under the US as the global superpower.

    Amazing to see an esteemed thinker let knee jerk politics colour his assessment of American 21st century policy.

      Nothing knee jerk about his analysis. In the year since you made your comments, look at how the world has trended. We are approaching a real crossroad with China and Russia. Trump about to be indicted on only some of his criminal activities. His attempt to undercut NATO is another sign that Trump was in Putin's pocket for some 'unknown' reason. Rhymes with honey...McCoy is just scratching the surface with his scenario. Where will things be five years down the line. Don't let your own political preferences blind you to the changes taking place on a global level. Complete with Chinese spy balloons!! Stay tuned and stay safe...
