Mr Johnson speaks of the “Western” system that emerged from WW2. But it was (and still is) just a US system. All the rest is just stage-dressing and masquerade.
All the discussion about “peacekeeping forces” and “guarantees” to Ukraine are overwhelmingly reminiscent of the old story about the mice who decide to bell the cat. Great idea – but who exactly is going to do it?
It seems to me that Chinese Taoism and Confucianism bred citizens who were more Christian – in a sense – than the Christians. And that long before Christ. Indeed, I wonder if Jesus got some of his best ideas from China (and maybe India).
Being on Piers Morgan’s show (or anywhere in his vicinity) tends to make people measurably stupider.
Actually “panem et circenses” goes back to the Roman Republic.
Killing “the other” is as American as apple pie – and it goes back far before 1776. Native Americans, Filipinos, Spaniards… all the way to the present day. It’s another form of entitlement. “We are superior, therefore we are entitled to kill you”.
