[Marxism] US hegemony is not guaranteed

With Iran, Russia, China, and  North Korea threatened by American hegemonic 
belligerence, it is not difficult  to imagine a scenario that would terminate 
all pretense of American power: For  example, instead of waiting to be 
attacked, Iran uses its Chinese and Russian  anti-ship missiles, against which 
the US 
reportedly has poor means of defense,  and sinks every ship in the American 
carrier strike forces that have been  foolishly massed in the Persian Gulf, 
simultaneously taking out the Saudi oil  fields and the Green Zone in Baghdad, 
the 
headquarters of the US occupation.  Shiâite militias break the US supply 
lines from Kuwait, and Iranian troops  destroy the dispersed US forces in Iraq 
before they can be concentrated to  battle strength. 

Simultaneously, North Korea crosses the demilitarized  zone and takes South 
Korea, China seizes Taiwan and dumps a trillion dollars of  US Treasury bonds 
on the market. Russia goes on full nuclear alert and cuts off  all natural gas 
to Europe.

What would the Bush regime do? Wet its pants?  Push the button and end the 
world?
