World politics

The world is changing. 

In many ways, despite the constant threat of nuclear war, mine was a lucky generation. We seem to be returning to a world of empires and spheres of influence. 

What is happening in Minnesota is typical of the new world order. Different accounts differ wildly and it is hard to tell what is the truth.

Why can't we live peacefully together?

Changing world order - NOT amateur radio

Most of us have grown up in a world dominated by western democracies. We have been told countless times that this fair and just: it is the right way for people to follow.

However, things are changing. Increasingly, developing countries are looking towards China and Russia. Many of their ways appear bizarre to those of us in the west.

We have to admit that western democracies are not perfect. Under capitalism the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The gap gets ever bigger.

The world was once in the thrall of the USA. This is no longer the case.

In the end, things will (I hope) sort themselves out.  Capitalism is not perfect and neither is communism or extreme right wing politics.
