Geopolitcs is cruel

Two videos, both short ones that are pragmatic and spells it out as it is.

The first one was posted by our Mr P in the Hearty Salon.  It is the real story of Jeffry Sachs during his time of designing an economic system for Russia which could have bypassed all the hell and wars of today.  He of course was a little naive but he is pointing out with clarity yet again what we are dealing with in terms of the incessant western drang to primacy.

The second is a good follow-up by Kishore Mabuni a brilliant man, diplomat and analyst.  For decades veteran Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani has challenged what he sees as Western complacency, warned of the irreversible rise of Asia, and argued that the global order must adapt to a world no longer dominated by Europe and the United States.
