The article analyzes the hegemonic policy of the largest and most influential state in the world – the United States, supported under the justified concept of “peculiarity” and exclusivity of America. Using this term, Washington imposes its only “correct” and necessary policy for the development of countries and peoples. Showing numerous examples, the author exposes the deceit and duplicity of such a policy, its rejection by most countries of the world. The article is intended for specialists in foreign affairs and those who study the place and role of the United States in the contemporary world.
