Wight pointed out that the international order described by the US is nothing but American dominance and hegemony.
"What they call stability is in reality submission to Washington. And what they describe as a threat to peace is in fact resistance to the chaos wrought after a decade of the US and its allies rampaging around the globe like a juggernaut of destruction," the article read.

Wight added that struggle for supremacy and hegemony leads to the destruction of entire nations and cultures as well as the suffering of tens of millions of people, as it happened in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
