    What's better - one big bully running everything or everyone calling their own shots? I think the answer's obvious. While war may continue in places, if you take away the ones the U.S. or Europe has started things will be quieter. There are other advantages which I'm too lazy at the moment to enumerate.

    Uppity Africa is talking as if she no longer wants to be colonized. We're talking Russia, EU, China, UK+Commonweath, Africa as candidates for strong participation in global leadership. I say the more the merrier.

    Agreed. One world government is like a power monger’s wet dream but I have yet to see a single reason why it is of any benefit to common folks. And what happened to embracing diversity?

    A unipolar world would be OK if that one power would leave others to pursue their own goals and needs and only step in when borders are crossed. The U.S blew it when they expanded NATO after promising not to do so, and turned that defensive alliance into an aggressor. Sanctions have been used against other nations as a punishment (that really has never worked and usually led to war) a bit like withholding allowances from unruly children. We have pushed the Woke agenda into places that it is not welcome. At the moment, Ukrainians and Russians are dying by the thousands due to U.S. actions and policies, and I am afraid many more of many other ethnicities and nationalities will die before this is all resolved.

    Good summation. The total scenario can be scary and depressing if you let it be so. Don't let it. Remember who wins in the end.

    Just like the Covid thing, that is what they are being fed. They just don't understand or study the history.

    What's obvious to me is how humans have learned nothing(about governing people), from History. Choosing others to do the job instead, because some don't want to take responsibility for their own lives, or those not able to do so. I believe in the Nuclear Family, which my definition of that is a Husband, wife as the head, but that's slowly fading into the sunset :(

    If NATO keeps pushing Russia we may all soon belong to the same Nuclear Family.

    You can't even get a husband and wife or siblings to agree on the same thing, so to expect the whole world to do so won't happen. It would have to be forced upon them and then there would be war. Better to bicker.
