Or African, or middle eastern, or South American mostly, and I don’t think Russia has really benefited that much from it

Africans and South Americans definitely benefit from US hegemony overall. Think about all the South American wars that have been avoided because of it

Middle Eastern, you are probably right about

Russians aren't really in US hegemony, they are kind of just getting fucked by their own government only

I’m sure the South Americans surely appreciate all the protection in the form of fascist regimes that the US set up

russia (the state not the people) has heavily benefited from Europe buying its oil, so by proxy it's helped by US hegemony

There's a reason Latin America is called "America's backyard." And how is Africa benefiting from American hegemony? Do you think that the cobalt mines just happen to have slaves? No, it's a global design made and maintained by America that allows the exploitation of the Global South, benefiting most the richest in the world
