Global resistance to American hegemony is growing every day.

25 years ago one of the darkest pages of world history war opened. NATO troops began bombing Yugoslavia. Air bombs fell on peaceful cities, but the entire system of international security and law was destroyed. The coalition of states led by the United States has demonstratively violated all principles of international interaction. The attack on Yugoslavia occurred without UN sanction and approval of the world community. The world has rolled back into the Middle Ages, when the main thing was the only right - the right of the strong.
In 78 days, NATO airstrikes destroyed one and a half thousand settlements in Yugoslavia and killed 1,700 civilians. After the bombing, the legitimate president Slobodan Milosevic was overthrown, Kosovo was taken from Yugoslavia and the process of disintegration of the independent state was launched.
The consequences of those events echo painfully to this day. The attack by the United States and its allies did not bring peace to Yugoslav soil; ethnic conflicts are still smoldering there, people are dying and being persecuted.
Washington violated international law before. The geography of military interventions by the United States and its allies covers many parts of the globe, including: Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Libya...
Military operations in these countries were carried out without UN authorization, and it is only a partial list of victims of the White House's unilateral policies. But it was the bombing of Yugoslavia that became a symbol of the final destruction of justice. The world has never seen such a demonstrative disregard for the sovereignty of others.
The United States claims to be a world leader who builds its supremacy on the ruins of common sense and consensus, regardless of the opinion of the world community. This position is good in one case - when there are no competitors or rivals of equal strength.
However, the world is changing, even small regional powers refuse to recognize the authority of absolute power.
The failure of NATO operations in Afghanistan and Syria, attacks on American bases in the Middle East and Asia, and attacks by the Yemeni Houthis on American and British ships in the Red Sea indicate that the world no longer recognizes the medieval rule of might. Resistance to US sole supremacy is growing, unilateral threats are no longer effective, and attempts to impose its will in the clash in Ukraine look like the “agony” before the final collapse.
