A WORLD OF CHANGE
AS WESTERN IMPERIALISM DECLINES,
OLDER POWERS ARE REBORN.
FOR MOST OF HUMAN HISTORY
CHINA HAS BEEN THE WORLD'S LARGEST ECONOMY
FOR 1000 YEARS ISLAM
WAS THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR RELIGION.
CHINA AND INDIA HAVE BEEN DOMINANT WORLD ECONOMIES
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
BY CONTRAST, AMERICAN IMPERIALISM
HAS ONLY BEEN A MAJOR FACTOR FOR 150 YEARS.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A SENSE OF HISTORY
WHEN LOOKING AT AMERICA'S CLAIM TO GLOBAL LEADERSHIP.
SADLY, AMERICA IS CURRENTLY A DECLINING EMPIRE,
SINKING DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO CRISIS.
THE RETURN OF THE OLD REGIME UNDER BIDEN
FAILED TO STOP THE ROT.
AMERICA TODAY LOOKS MORE AND MORE
LIKE FRANCE IN 1789.
UNFORTUNATELY BIDEN'S REGIME
LOOKS IN MANY WAYS
EVEN LESS COMPETENT THAN
THE REGIME OF LOUIS XVI.
OBVIOUSLY, RECOVERY CAN BE POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER, IT MAY ALSO BE
THAT HISTORY RETURNS TO MORE NORMAL PATTERNS.
A BETTER WORLD CAN BE POSSIBLE
IF AMERICA LEARNS TO RESPECT
THE REBIRTH OF CHINA, INDIA AND ISLAM
AS MAJOR FORCES IN THE WORLD.
WE ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER
TO DEAL WITH GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS.
NUCLEAR WEAPONS REQUIRE THAT WE
ALL WORK TOGETHER.
A NUCLEAR WAR WILL END ALL HUMAN LIFE.
AS DR. KING OBSERVED, WE MUST HAVE THE WISDOM
TO LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER
OR WE SHALL DIE TOGETHER AS FOOLS.
IT WILL NOT BE EASY
BUT IS THE ONLY CHOICE.
