You have to imagine Switzerland with 100MM and then think about it.
So, Indonesia, Nigeria, Russia, India, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Japan, Mexico…
Which one would you prefer to wield the sword other than the US.
How would Pakistan feel if India were the hegemon, and vice versa? Use your imagination.
In order to be a hegemony you need to be able to sustain that. You can say: I grant thee Andorra or Singapore hegemony over the world. You rule. That’s like giving a toddler in a village a Kalashnikov. It’ll ‘rule’ for an hour till it can’t feed itself and then the brute wrests it away while it sleeps.
