I am not one to outrightly condemn how some nations choose to rule their people. It should always be up to those people to decide whether that is how they wish to be ruled. But by the same token, I am very grateful to have been born in the UK (we don’t choose where we are born) as I doubt I would be happy under some of the regimes out there.
But when you look at the ineffectual position of organisations such as the United Nations – and yes, they are probably trying their best – it is very clear that if America is not around, posturing and relentlessly building up military might, we will all be in trouble. When you look at the behaviour of some of these other would-be super powers and their intentions, I for one, would hope to never ever have to live in a country governed by those folk. Yes, America has its faults and with all the crazies presently popping up at the helm of their politics, worrying times, but at least they do not have an agenda to rebuild some long forgotten empire. The world has to learn to move on and leave people to self-determination. If a country has formed and its people wish to stick with what they have and carry on with life as they have it, LEAVE THEM BE!!!
There are greater problems out there that these supposed super-powers can seek to solve: eradicating poverty globally, creating means for everyone to access education, ending all wars and mandating that there shall not be military conflicts anywhere on earth – sounds far-fetched, but imagine if sale of weapons to third world countries is replaced with provision of grain and agricultural machines only. If the US, China, Russia, and others say there must be no war globally, they have the means to enforce that easily. There’s so much good that these super-powers can do, if they decide to.
But essentially, while the focus is elsewhere, it is clear the POSTURING is sadly, the only means of keeping us all from being overrun by one or the other of these so-called super-powers….
