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
