According to the book "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, the main premise of it is that war should be avoided with diplomacy

My admiration extends to all people approaching global issues through diplomacy and discourse through appropriate conduct and channels. That being said that as a simple self educated individual growing up in the 21st. century trying to make sense of global cultures, politics, history in the context of why globally there are no gains in geopolitical stability in the course of its history. In recent weeks i have had an epiphany as to why have always ask my self why there has been no progress in the nations and the function of governments. it turns out that i had the answer years ago "absolute power corrupts absolutely" this grand statement which is not absolute only implies that "INDIVIDUALS" that even have only some power whether elected or assigned to guide or manage resources is doomed even if the are successful. Historically i can't help cite that individuals like Trump, Putin who contribute with nihilism other than control/ power and who do not seem to even want to embrace diplomacy will always exist and threaten progress of social change for people. Even great leaders that emerge and start to make change on behalf of the socio global advances seem to realize that the constructive effort they succeeded at is sooner or later dismantled by a successor . Corruption is the real Cause of continuous global conflict and as long as individuals continue to control any aspect whether its socio economic, medical, technological, law, diplomatic in fact any thing. Is it not methodology you could be addressing and not tact....POWER IS A LITERAL ADDICTION AND I THINK IT COULD BE CITED AS AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY EVEN THOSE WITH THE BEST INTENT WILL FAIL AS INDIVIDUALS IN think we need to shift the paradigm of tribal individual leaders to group and communal leaders for diplomacy to make permanent change.

RIGHT ON YURII !!- With regards to global council with some teeth to stop advocates with too narrow of an agenda not in the best interests of all countries.

But Canada is the largest producer and exporter of potash. How could he get that wrong? And later, Nobody is asking for absolute sovereignty. You are applying some concepts here, but the reality in my perspective is very different. Question: Isn't NATO a way to get countries together with common rules? Seems a good thing to me. And Ukraine. 🙂
