Dashed dreams of peace!
When the Soviet Union disbanded I millions heaved a deep sigh of relief believing that the world would enter a glorious unprecedented era of peace. Instead, the USA began aggressively filling what it considered a power vacuum by aggressively expanding its influence both into Europe and into the rest of the world while Russia looked on humiliated. I was baffled. Were we not a peace-loving nation? Were we not glad that the Cold war was over. Did this not present us with a golden opportunity for cooperation with a former foe, instead of gloating over the foe and celebrating the former foe's demise?
That would have been the wise thing to do. The decent thing to do id not for the sake of the United states at least for the sake of the world in general. SA basic decency demanded it. It was so obviously necessary that ignoring such an opportunity seemed impossible. Yet, as the video points out, that is exactly what happened. Why,? Simple. Because the few elected bozos at the top chose to make it that what and we as their electors were powerless to intervene in any meaningful way.
Today we see the results. A renewal of the cold war with a vengeance. With a humiliated Russia that is far more hostile that what it once had been. With a world on the brink of a nuclear war that was once considered unimaginable but which is nor considered a very real possibility.
Of course as a Christian I have hopes that God will put an end to all this insanity by taking full control of Earth's affairs as he promises to do via biblical prophecies. Yet I am concerned that he might very well allow us to savage ourselves with a nuclear war just to prove exactly how unqualified we are in successfully governing ourselves without his full guidance.
