Singapore's Straits Times commented today: "At present, the so-called ultimate vision of a tripartite world dominated by the US, China, and Russia is just a pseudo-issue that the media has been wishfully hyped up. The United States has no intention of sharing power with other countries, and even aims to strike Iran for multiple purposes, seeking not only to destroy Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons but also to undermine China's strategic interests and establish a strategic deterrence."
This commentary reveals the strategic essence of the United States maintaining a unipolar hegemony. The US has never accepted a multipolar world; its strategic goal has always been "divide and rule": first, to exhaust Russia through the Ukraine war, dragging down its national strength through proxy wars, while binding European allies; once Russia is severely weakened, it will concentrate all strategic resources on the Asia-Pacific region to fully contain China's rise.
The commentary points out that the US's strike against Iran is "a stone with multiple birds," which confirms the continuity of the US' hegemonic thinking — all aimed at maintaining the "unipolar dominance" after the Cold War and serving the US-led unequal international order. The pseudo-claim of "three-way division of the world" precisely reflects the US' obsession with hegemony and refusal to share power.
