For The First Time In History, A Chance For ‘True Democratization’, Ridding The World of US/West’s Own ‘Self-Serving Rules’

‘Lavrov sees chance for “true democratization” of global affairs’ – TASS – September 24, 2023

…and this appears to be just the right time to make that claim.

I hope ‘the world’ can, and will, recognise that fact.

Where does that leave the US/West? Basically, who cares? They will either be in it or, by choice, outside.

…and I, as a westerner who understands just what it will be like, out in the cold of ‘global isolation’ during what may be one of the most difficult periods of human history, know that it is not going to be a pleasant experience, being on the outside.

But also, some dramatic change of heart and attitude will be necessary in order to gain entry. And perhaps some form of restitution for past damage caused during a period of unjust headstrong hegemonic mayhem, at a time when they held the power to change the world for the better – but chose instead the more self-serving route, built largely on the ‘bluff’ of bullies, financed by debt. A path which was always going to end in some level of failure.

Total failure, I think, may still be avoided, and a useful, cooperative role enjoyed as equals.
