The 20th Congress warned that the United States was intensifying both its military and economic hegemonist policy throughout the world following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Subsequent developments show that the outrageous nature of U.S. hegemonism has grown unabated.
Its dangerous true nature was exposed when the United States attacked Iraq with missiles in September 1996. These were unlawful attacks with no basis in any UN decision and an outrageous act without regard for international law. But this does not mean that the United States has the right to arbitrarily judge Iraq and impose military sanctions on the country. These military attacks were not accidental. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States lost the Soviet threats as the rationale for maintaining its huge war-fighting force.
