Alexander Mercouris is a commentator on international affairs whose predictions I have been keeping track of for a long time, and they thus-far have a shocking 100% record of subsequent confirmation (accuracy). Nobody else comes close to that, except the anonymous author of the “Moon of Alabama” blog. Almost always, those two have been predicting the same things at the same times, independently of each other; and, since MoA has almost always been predicting the same outcomes that Mercouris has (though often on the basis of evidence that isn’t quite as reliable), MoA’s record is almost as good. They both agree on the following:
Russia will win its war against Ukraine.
Turkey will have to support Russia on any matter where America’s anti-Russian military alliance, NATO (of which Turkey is a member and therefore possesses a geostrategically crucial veto-power within NATO), poses a real threat against Russia’s national sovereignty; that is, where America poses the potential to become empowered to make dictats to Russia regarding Russia’s domestic policies and its foreign relations (in other words: to make Russia into a U.S. vassal-nation like America’s existing allies are).
Russia will have to accommodate Turkey’s needs, because Turkey controls the two straits, both the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, that control ship-access between the Black Sea and the Atlantic Ocean (via the Mediterranean Sea), which two passageways are crucial to Russia’s national security.
On June 8th, a video by Mercouris headlined “Military collapse in north Donbass. Turkey & Russia move closer together as EU crumbles”, and cited his evidence that the present moment constitutes a turning-point in which America’s global power has declined so much, and that Russia’s global power has increased so much, so that Turkey will — at least for as long as Tayyip Erdogan continues to lead Turkey — exercise its veto-power within America’s anti-Russian alliance, NATO, whenever doing so will boost not only Turkey’s national security but boost Russia’s national security.
This is a radical break away from the past, when the U.S. Government was so powerful as to be able to get all of NATO’s members to vote in unison favorably toward any proposal that would pose an additional threat against Russia’s national security.
Consequently, yet another U.S. coup-attempt against Erdogan is likely.
Mercouris discussed there, with his interviewer and friend Alex Christaforu, the effort by John Bolton and his financial backers to precipitate another coup-attempt in Turkey. On 27 August 2018, America’s AP bannered “In Familiar Dance, Turkey Warms to Russia As US Ties Unravel”, and reported that, “Relations between Turkey and Russia are cozy, prompting worries in the West of a potentially critical rift in the NATO alliance. But Turkey’s president may be engaged in a balancing act, tactically turning to Russia as ties with the United States further deteriorate.” Then, on 11 April 2019, Vox headlined “How America’s relationship with Turkey fell apart”, and (as is done in virtually all U.S. media) implicitly assumed that the U.S. regime was on the good side, and that any resisting Government (in this case, Turkey) is on the bad side, in any dispute; but, except for such false assumptions, its explicit statements were accurate, and sufficed to make clear the fact that “Ankara’s recent actions have blown a hole in the center of their alliance” (without Vox’s noting that the same was also true of Washington’s actions), and that “as this divorce happens, America’s ability to work with Turkey in the Middle East and Europe will continue to dwindle — meaning US influence there, at least somewhat, degrades.”
However, actually, it’s far more significant than that: it is nothing less than a major part of the historical turning-point ending America’s dominance over international relations.
In the present instance, Mercouris’s video provides the specifics and the broader context. But also on June 7th, Britain’s Economist headlined a stunning new specific on this, “Russia is pumping more oil to Europe than it was before the war: Refiners are cashing in on cheap Urals crude”, and reported that
The eu’s ban on Russian oil, agreed on May 31st, is off to an unpromising start. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the amount of its oil pumped into the bloc has been increasing. It rose by 14% between January and April, from 750,000 to 857,000 barrels per day, according to Argus Media, a publisher. The embargo applies only to seaborne crude and petroleum products, for now covering just 75% of imports from Russia. Oil supplied by pipeline to a handful of countries in central and eastern Europe is temporarily exempt — a concession to Hungary, which had been blocking the agreement. Refiners in these countries are snapping up cheap Russian crude that most Western buyers are shunning.
That oil has mainly come via the Druzhba Pipeline system, extending from Russia’s oil in the Ural Mountans, where European Russia ends and Asian Russia begins; and delivers that oil to Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark, Germany, Slovakia, Czechia, and Hungary. It is the world’s longest oil pipeline and one of the biggest oil pipeline networks in the world.
There are two ways that the U.S. Government can respond to this sea-change in international relations. It can either accept and adjust to it, or else it can refuse to do so and instead use either Ukraine in Europe or Taiwan in Asia so as to try to compel what is now inevitable (the shrinkage of the American empire and the emergence of an Asian-dominated world in which there will no longer be any empires) not to happen. If it accepts what is inevitable, then there will be no WW III. If it instead refuses to accept what is inevitable, then it will have only one way to exercise that option (continued resistance): to invade Russia and China — WW III.
In order for the U.S. Government to accept and adjust to its decline as an international power, it will need to repudiate its existing supremacist ideology (neoconservatism) and expel its proponents from all diplomatic and national-security offices, end the revolving-doors that corrupt those agencies, and socialize their armaments-firms as some other countries have done. The only alternative to that would be WW III, as an attempt to continue the U.S. Government’s global supremacy. Such an attempt would inevitably fail, because it would destroy the world. A person who would attempt such a thing should therefore not be tolerated, but eliminated. The world ought to agree with this, because only then can there be sound reason for hope in the future. Neoconservatives endanger the entire planet. There can be no reason to allow that. None whatsoever.
Unfortunately, however, the U.S. Government’s #1 priority right now is to defeat Russia in Ukraine. Actually, ever since 25 July 1945, conquering Russia has been the U.S. Government’s very top objective. This is how implacably dangerous neoconservatives are. And it’s why they need to be eliminated — in order to prevent WW III.

Lets pursue that printing idea. What happens when there is a vast disparity between the dollar supply and the need to hold a dollar, in the international market? Would there be enough US goods and services to purchase once international trade shifts to other currencies? Thus there is an existential need for the US to tie down other economies in making dollar payments by purchase, by exchange, or by repayments. This then leads to an absurd, deeply inequitable, and abusive relation where resources are plundered from the rest of the world for paper. This is the evil side of what the current system is offering to the rest of the world. Only the hegemon and the traitorous elites would protect such a system.
The dollar is the world’s reserve currency. period. Even the Russians and Chinese have a large chunk of their state assets in dollars. Right now. Yes, right now.
This article is make-believe. Asia wont lead anything. They cant even lead themselves. Soon the whole world will deteriorate into war, right alongside with Asia.

Russia-Ukraine war: Irish lawmaker calls out Nato ‘hypocrisy’
‘We need to raise our voice against all imperialism, no matter where it is.’ Irish MP Richard Boyd Barrett says Nato powers are guilty of the same warmongering they accuse Russia of. US and its NATO vassals have invaded dozens of small defenceless states and killed millions of civilians from Vietnam to Syria today. Why is Russia being criticized for defending its own historic lands and people?
Syria had its own imperialism, it was pan Arab and occupied Lebanon from the 1970s until 2005. Russia and America kept their empires, European states have not kept their empires to their own trepidation.
” US and its NATO vassals have invaded dozens of small defenceless states and killed millions of civilians from Vietnam to Syria today. ”
That somehow excuses 152 million killed by Communism and some hundred thousand more dying in the Russian-Ukraine war? Particularly from February 24, 2022 and onward.
If anything, Africa and the Middle East love this war. Despite Ukraine not being a part of NATO. They perceive dead Ukrainians as payback for bombing the desert, ironically they did not really care so much about NATO before 2001-2003.
You tend to parrot what you hear without any further consideration.

I think that’s what frightens everyone about the US. “After all you can always pay half the poor people to kill the other half” – some rich dick bag
Typicalwet dream and science fiction
There is no question that the corrupt violence prone Jew controlled US illegitimate banana republic built on slavery, genocide, theft, racism, global plunder and sheer hubris is going down the toilet. Asia is indeed the future as any literate person knows. The US was created by Anglo racist imperialist trash whose genocidal policies killed off millions, as many historians wrote, no country has spilled so much blood and destroyed humanity as the US criminals. The sooner the US goes down the tubes, the better for the planet and humanity. The world will be grateful to Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico and a growing number of independent nations that have brought down the Anglo-Zionist parasites. GOD BLESS RUSSIA & PRESIDENT PUTIN!
I keep saying ,build trumps wall all the way around s the US and tell them to stay behind it. Bazinga world peace. Or is that just me
Lol Californian gas is now $10 per gallon. The U.S will be beaten by its own corrupt Ponzi Scheme economic system. As the dollar becomes less wanted on the global scale its value cheapens. So No money, no military maintenance. Bye 👋
I just filed up for $5 per gallon here in Santa Monica. Show me proof that its $10 per gallon?
US is a failed warmonger and Russian trade with Asia has grown by 400%, India is buying 300% more oil in RUBLES, the US idiots only accelerated American decline. The only news that comes out of US savage parasitic failed state is mass shootings and racism. A disgruntled employee just killed several people in Maryland.
This year, 243 mass shootings, defined as incidents in which at least four people were shot or killed, have already occurred in America, gun violence in US is now killing more people every year than all the global conflicts combined.
US is a global criminal franchise. Luckily, they have met their match in Eurasia and will go down in flames. Average American is dumber than a pile of shit. I am being kind.
Their national IQ average is higher than Russia’s and India’s
You are virtually clueless of what you are talking about. You have replied to a Dravidian with a lower intelligence than your average white American, whom you have never met outside of your remote Siberian village consisting of eroding cabins and prefabricated buildings.
“This year, 243 mass shootings”
Predominately through PsyOps and niggers.
Statistics don’t like. You do lie.
You will find more violence in Mexico, Brazil, etc.
Despite stricter gun laws.
Your arithmetic is wrong.
Car wrecks are also far more deadly.
2,5 per litre or 150 rubles (60 for 1 dollar), it’s 3 times more than in Russia, though both countries are leaders in oil extraction and 1-2 years ago prices in the US were even cheaper. Looks like speculation at stock market or cartel deal to establish higher prices. Cost of fuel at eastern shore of the US is twice less, am I wrong?
You think the USA got away with printing money out of thin air?
There have been more sellers than buyers for $USD the last couple of years and the trend’s accelerating. Sanctions killed the goose … the world has learned to get around the Petrodollar and SWIFT. Sanctioning Russia really greased the skids. With all those dollars you exported since 2008 coming home the buying power of the dollar will drop off a cliff. It’s already started …inflation is taking off … it’s about to go verticle.
I don’t see it. Only 20% of the US is poor and its majority colored people and immigrants. Look at the third world where 95% are poor!
Are you comparing 300 million to 6 billion? Are you out of your mind??? Purchasing Power Parity together with the Dollar exchange rate has been two of the greatest Ponzi schemes ever invented. Unfortunately it is unraveling.
Rich and poor are relative terms for purchasing power.
Purchasing power depends on the strength of the currency you hold and the amount of currency you hold.
If either the amount of currency you hold decreases or the relative value of the currency decreases your wealth decreases.
So poor people become rich people when either they get more currency or their currency increases in value versus the currency of the country producing the good they want to buy with that currency.
The inverse is also true … Rich people become poor if they either hold less of the currency or if THE CURRENCY DECREASES IN VALUE.
The very rich have hedges against currency devaluation. They invest in commodities and businesses that aren’t affected by the devaluation of the USD. Bill Gates buying up farmland for example. The sorta rich upper middle class, middle class and working class have less opportunity to hedge and therefore lose their wealth and get poor.
you would have more credibility if you learned to spell
America does have its weaknesses, the dollar being propped up by oil is one of them: Collapse oil prices and you tear one one of the core pillars of the American economy. The issue with this is that all the viable opposition also rely on oil prices to balance their books so sustaining low oil prices becomes a game of chicken or just brinksmanship with the world economy.
The second key weakness of America is it’s social faultlines: various groups have sought to divide Americans over the last few years and now a concerted effort to split American society along those faultlines could meet with success. Combine that with a failing dollar and you have a recipe for instability like America has never seen.
I’m sure the experts could apply other forms of pressure and completely undermine America without a bullet or missile being fired.
Unfortunately you are correct.
did Mickey Mouse teach you this stupidity?
You can’t debate anybody. You can only make dimwitted insults devoid of truth and purpose.
You’re such a weakling you cannot risk permitting free speech in an internet chatroom.
Have Mercouris, predicted anything about Israel, oh for give me, I mean Palestine? From experience, Mercouris has always avoided discussing the subject with all effort!
It’s geostrategically insignificant. That’s why he hasn’t been discussing it.
What you people need to understand is that Germany being defeated in WW2 was actually a very bad thing for the European race. I know many of you were brain washed and indoctrinated to think Germany was really bad and all of that but they were fighting against the world order at that time and knew who the real enemy was.
Right now, Russia is fighting against this world order. If Russia loses then Russia will have African immigration and Russian women will be sleeping with Africans.
The Slavs have their own version of multi-cult: it is called “Russian World” (Russkiy Mir”)
In this version of multi-cult, Russians lead, along with all the various peoples of the former Soviet Union, all the asians (kazakhs, uzbeks, etc) all the caucasians (georgians, chechens etc), so yeah, mixing is okay. As long as you recognize Russia’s leading role.
One of Putin’s master strategists, Vladimir Surkov for example, is half chechen, half jew. Shoigu is also non-russian. Putin is surrounded with jews- and asians.
do you have a point racist?
Liar,you are in no position to troll about anything,you are simply pathedic,wasted self defeated!
It’s first and foremost neolibs not neocons. No Democrat voted against the $40 billions. 57 conservatives did. American conservatives today are way less bellicose than the libs.
Only 57 conservatives voted against them. Its NOT good enough!
Alexander is gud but don’t you forget muh nigga Brian Berletic of The New Atlas. Watch his shit. It gud he be telling it like it is. Ukraine is losing this war.
https://www.youtube.com/c/TheNewAtlas
Very intelligent analyst,unlike that assflogged iq of its shoesize dumbass piece of sodomised shit.
“The American empire is being defeated; Asia will lead the future.”
No it won’t. The Chinese are busy destroying their own economy with “zero covid policy” lockdown craziness, and India, well, India is still a Third world country. Not to mention that India and China can attack each other at any point, they came dangerously close last year
Turkey will never become Russia’s ally. Turkey wants to export its products to the West, where the big markets are. Russia’s GDP is expected to shrink 15% this year .- not many opportunities here.
China will probably attack Taiwan at some point in the next few years. When there are troubles at home, politicians find a foreign scapegoat. China has been planning the invasion of Taiwan since decades: they have detailed plans for the whole invasion. It will likely create another domino-effect similar to Russia’s case, (losing western companies, ending SWIFT, etc). Also, china is an officially marxist dictatorship, with state-enforced atheism, making them the bad guys by default.
What kind of analysis do you do? Checking the produce aisle at the grocery store or maybe some kind of astrology?
He does ANALysis. I highly enjoyed our session together.
The ANAL bit speaks volumes for that degenerate low iq sodomised loser piece of shit! Lies don’t cut it these days,world has awakened,how dare the libby gimp insults the truth!
He can ANALyze me anytime. My mom approves.
Good points and i agree with u.

The American bioweapons are specifically targeting the Han Chinese, which is most of them. You think Chinese people may have had especially lethal and virulent strains unleashed on them or that the strains may have been specifically targeting them? In the UK and US, the lockdowns were overkill and bad policy but was that the case for China? In Wuhan, they got rid of the new lurgy within eighty days. We spent more than three months filled with restrictions in the UK, with new lockdowns, more rules, stricter rules, easing up and with all of the country affected. . Our covid was not really bad, the young & healthy should have been allowed out but kept away from the elderly and susceptible. In that way, the young would have all had covid and become immune naturally. This would have protected the more suceptible and elderly. China has excellent medical treatments and has their traditional medicine being used alongside the Western types.
moron amerikanhillbilly….in May 2022 Russia increased its reserves by 13 billion euros..u cretins are 20 trillion $ in debt….Russian export revenue expected to increase 70 + billion euros 2022 from 2021…you moron amerikans are farcical
56ish ruble to the dolla too.
With this pace, we will see soon 56 dollars for ONE ruble…
US debt is sovereign……can be written off with the stroke of a pen. No problem……
Begone fake heart,liar,phaedo loving anal flogged demented phoney and false neo-libby gimp,pfft!
The US government has been not just infiltrated by Chinese agents, many of our politicians have been corrupted by them and are selling this country down the drains (our President being one of them). The US is literally bleeding to death by 1000 cuts and the US intelligence apparatus has been turned on the people instead of protecting the country from foreign interference.
Most of that is no correct. Kapitalisme says You have trade by best to the price products. If the ones fx from Europe, Japna and China are better and cheeper, the amrican companies buy them.
The base for Yours is the ilusion that USA always are the best. BUT thats only correct, if You innovate things better then us.
The other version of course is, You is a part of the western economics, where such competition is a fair one.
You are right. USA is not feeling fine. The main reason for that is Your own in social and economix reforms.
A very good example for USA unity or lack of same is Sanders. His programs compenste a lot for Your worst mistakes. Skandinavia and others has solved them and fx have better health and hospital care to half of the price.
You let Kapitalisme plunder You. So if You are a stockholder You really gets money.
We in Denmark OWN the hospitals by the state. THEN we outsoyurce. So we have the upporcontrol and there is no monopoly.
Its the same for education. If You dont invest in as many other countries do, You can produce and distribute american products well – even in USA. Education fpor all njo matter some dont do it well makes good taxpayers. Thise pay back to the next generation and more to it.
You are right China are thieves but You are too. Its a very common tradtion for the world.
You can only make better systems for control. You need more soft power in this too. It goes for other crimes too. We in Denmark has a much smaller but well educated police. But we also also has replaced a lot of the police jobs into having social workers. It makes trust they are not armed.
By that we include much more people and make them into productive citicen. Well is not how many people there are in the jails. Wellfare is how many is not.
Get this lunatic his medication. He just escaped from the Moscow mental institute and Vladimir Putin just hired him as his right hand guy. They both love to psycho babble.
how much CIA sperm did you swallow today?
Yous an Al-Baqistani guy no? Desperate here to yell? I suggest you not talk too much. Aren’t you a marginalized refugee living somewhere in da west? Well?……Quit yelling here ok?
Your doomed regardless,either way dummy chummy NONE can stop for the reason,try youll die! Hetero muslim and christian gonna fek you satanic sodomite vile fascist pieces of shit,wait n see!
The trick is to defeat them without triggering nuclear war (or maybe, “tactical nukes” that can be limited to purely military targets – no such thing outside of military islands like Diego etc).
I haven’t followed Mercuris, since his platforms are YouTube & twitter, both of which I avoid. MoA is not one person, but a team – who they really represent is anyone’s guess.
Alex Mercouris is on Rumble.
America WAS COMPLETELY defeated after China and India hauled away the crime scene (http://www.911research.wtc7.net/wtc/groundzero/cleanup.html)… And Russia stayed silent (https://theduran.com/putin-911-not-inside-job/)!…
And worst of all… Because the American people stayed silent to their own .gov crime again$t them https://wikispooks.com/wiki/9-11…., they DESERVE to L0$E EVERYTHING!…
“the greatest threats to Americas democracy will come from Pope’s” George Washington. Jesuit Superior General Michael Angelo Tambourini, during a private meeting, in 1720, with the Duke of Brissac, vaunted: “See, my grace, from this room-from this room-I govern not only Paris, but China; not only China, but the whole world. Without anyone knowing how it is managed.” So you see, these men rule not just their Order, but much more besides from their court at Rome.”
-P.D. Stuart, Codeword Barbelon, p. 185-186
On e thing is correct. A start would be to clean Your own house Yourself.
Russia has a coastline on the Black Sea, the restrictions allow Turkey to ban all warships, except those with a coastline, then the Nation only has to give Turkey 7 days notice of a warship coming or going. That blocking of the strait would hinder NATO more than it would Russia.
Non will lead the future save a United multipolarity. It is what we hope for in Russia’s victory
Russia has doomed itself as looser forever. Others will grow by this.
Russian sacrifices will save the world from US thugs and historic savages. Putin is one of the greatest Slavic leaders and may the heavens bless him and Russian neighbors.
Elephants take a long time to die! With that said the USA has several issues that have not been discussed even by Mr Mercouris: Debasing the dollar by excessive money printing. This will lead to inflation Artificial price suppression of gold and silver, when this blows up the Big Banks involved in this will be destroyed. Exporting the industrial base to China. How can you be an empire when you don’t produce anything. The Spanish Empire is a good historical example. Suppression of oil exploration and production in the USA. This leads to high energy prices which cause recessions. Shutting down coal and nuclear power plants and replacing them with renewables. Australia proved that this leads to power grid instability (brown outs) and higher costs to the end user.
China is a US toady, in case you haven’t noticed it yet idiot! The US is China’s biggest trading partner no? Do we need to say much else? BRI/ OBOR bullshit no? China just wants hard currency……thats all. Get real.
How can be an Empire without producing anything? Answer: Military might and extracting commodities and resources from colonies worldwide, thats why you sustain an Empire, ask the tiny island British Empire who managed to rule over the world on XIX Century (Victorian Era)
Im and export says they produce a lot.
Thre we go again. After so many years people like You deny to uderstand the vitals in western economics. It is succesfull for reasons You name as bad.
GDP says USA is the biggest producer in the world. In world trade Your ignore that most production in USA is for the 330.000 million inhabitants living there.
Articel like this sound just too familiar…during 1930’s facism (Germany,ltaly/ spain) was supposed to run the future of the world, others thought communism (UdSSR in 20’s/ 50’s*), Cooperarte Japan (70’s,/80’s), USA (after 1945) and so on.
At the end Balanced Powers end up ruling the world, at Peace with neighbours, or at least peace/ Harmony within society, more friends/ allies than foes around positive demograpics, low level of corruption, rule of law etc.
China is failing misserable in this regard, Vietnam,south Korea, Japan, Taiwan all not allies, China spends more on its police force than its Military, just to keep its own citizens under control, the communist party / xi 🐼🐨 winnie the poo let 15000+ members of the elite ( ceos, actors,party members) disappear, no rule of law,no peace,a government so weak it cant tolerate the slightest form of Opposition/ freedom of speech,not willing to respect the contracts/ laws signed by itself ( crack down of Hongkong Special status).
A failed system so to speak unable to offer anything positive within and for sure not to the rest of Asia or the world
One child Policy killed their demograpics as well… China gets old before it gets rich,+ one child society,is worst for any future Military conflict… No Chinese will fight.
children have to provide for parents and the ancient ancestors… noone in China will Provide for orphans, parents with Kia soldiers, there is no social contract,let alone cultural/ religous contract.
One child dies, all of Family and memory of ancestors dies
Zum Teufel mit SF
Scheiss russische Ivan flatheads, dictator ass kissers. Censorship in its most Stalin/ Mao/ DüFaZ Putin’s form
I listen to the great political minds of USA… Joseph Nye, Mearsheimer and others; they said USA is great in demographics and statistics wouldnot fall so bad between 2022 and 2050. They predict USA would go from Number 1 to Number 3 in almost every statistic… I strongly disagree with Joseph Nye, Mearsheimer and others USA Political schollars. This is my point of view. The USA tools 1. Soft Power 2. Manipulation of World Market and 3. International Economics World Currency 4. Military might ; well if they arent Number 1 anymore all western world would realize they are going inside a sinking ship so they would abandon ship and pursue a more neutral and take distance from USA; this would meant the fall from the sky of USA. USA military might is the main tool of USA Hegemony, they use Military Might to Persuade and Coerce countries into accept Economic Trade Political Laws the USA dictates to them so if USA fall would fall very bad and will go from Number 1 unto Number 6 at least, a big fall; maybe after the fall they would start to get better (just like the Big Depression of 1929).
Most of that is idealized hopes. Being number 3 or 4 is rater big to me. I live in Denmark.
To me its about FDP pr capita taling cae of own population. We still has 160 countries with lower standards.
I think You focus should be why those 170 are that low.

Sf Forum is becoming like stalin’s UdSSR,mao’s China or hitler’ 3rd Reich… Opposition just disappear/ send to the happy camps. It is a shame and freedom of speech/ Exchange of ideas shouldnt be censored/ moderated as agressive as its done since the past days.
I guess SF just following russian rules, a country whose government 0 Junta punished a teacher for telling pupils it is wrong to say death to Ukrainians.
Moderators being on Steroides, simple explanation

When do you think the reality of Ukraine is gonna hit this one? He seems a little dense and has only been in country two weeks. Bonus that they have to beg people to take up arms by pointing out his peg leg.

Agree, Mercouris is the best of them all.
War has just begun. Prdicting that Russia is going to win is like predicting Hitler was going to win in 1940. We do not know who is ready to go to what lenghts.
I am also not very happy that Asians are going to take over the world. Especially China. India can’t take over at least for now they don’t have the cultural desire for dominance.
