I agree with pretty much everything here as you describe it, although I'm definitely less techno-optimistic. I would note, too, that Russia and China act in bad faith consistently and egregiously. The US's foreign policy is far from squeaky clean, but it at least moments of detente and goodwill that I don't see from the countries listed as adversaries. I've got a hot take that the most telling (no pun intended) moment in American foreign policy history is the passing of the Teller Amendment and its effect on public support for the Spanish-American War.

When I say “We are not one world,” I am quoting the late commentator Paul Harvey, who used it repeatedly. We truly are not. Customs and cultures are widely divergent. Blurred characteristics between nations is a mirage. Despite the WEF and UN and their puppet-toadies, the WHO denizens, people know who they are.

We are unified, at least, in that sense. We are not subjects.

I have already addressed “the fourth turning” against a mighty journalist. I submit to you that humanity tends to whisper its own fate through fear. Predictions of failure and disease and blood and starvation and war, are beneath the family of man.
