Oh..idk, see russia invading any nato countries? Or did you mean -other- bad behavior? Is that -other- category even remotely relevant to the russo-ukranian war? I mean, fuck me....but is it really that far out to dream of a world where various nations do all kinds of fucked up shit -except- invade each other? Just one less thing, right?
I think that everyone, except for me & my idealists, are just plain nuts. The whole Ukrainian affair is why our World needs a One World Government, whose principal power lies in a democratically elected Parliament with a World Court. In my scheme, the World Prime Minister would be the administrative head of all governmental agencies, with the real power being with the Parliament. The Prime Minister could, at any time, be subject to a Vote of No Confidence.
The alternative is, someday, global thermonuclear war. Hopefully, enough humans will survive the environmental calamity to start things over, at least before the next war.
