LOL. Soviet Russia and Imperial China are calling, they want to show you what power looks like.

Agreed, the West has ben better at power for the last few hundred years. I'm responding to the laughable idea that this perspective is exclusive to the west. It clearly isn't, and besides, imperial China seems to be on the rise again, so in the next century they might even grab back the "stinkiest asshole in the room" award.
