There are eight billion people on earth at the present time. The necessary resources to sustain life, let alone provide a decent existence are not equally distributed among these people. Poverty is rife throughout the world and massive numbers of people are abandoning their homelands for refuge in one or another wealthier country. The massive numbers of people involved in these movements puts additional strain on all of the recipient countries.
There are, today, major conflicts going on in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Another major conflict threatens to break out in Asia. These conflicts magnify every single problem facing every single person on earth. A coalition of sorts has developed between China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, all of which are declared enemies of the United States. All of these enemies are nuclear powers. All of the alliances that include the United States are in decline. The United States, itself, is questioning all of its’ traditions, history, social structure and the world sees the confusion even more clearly than do the people living in the United States.
Everywhere in the world, technology is replacing human thought in determining the nature of more and more aspects of our interrelationship with one another. Crime is replacing law and order in more and more of the world to include right here in the United States.
To be continued… Sorry, not today. Too busy... I do, however, have a question that keeps plaguing me. If two nuclear powers go to war with each other, can that conflict be resolved short of an all out nuclear exchange?
