The dangerous results of amatuer and ideological diplomats.

 FOOLS AND IDEOLOGS HAVE BLUNDERED INTO GLOBAL WAR

WORST CROP OF WESTERN DIPLOMATS IN HISTORY

Every day we inch closer to another war or threat of escalated and expanded war. It is not just fate or an accident of history, but the prevalence of immature political operatives in high places, particularly in the western world. In just 3 short years we have witnessed the increased hostility and instability not seen since WW2. It is the result of the poorest diplomacy in history. a lack of empathy for the concerns of other nations, driven either by hubris or just plain ideological hatred and delusional calculations rather than realistic solutions. This is accompanied by very little scrutiny of the press to reveal the disasters in the making.

Listening is replaced by threats and intimidation, this must be based in an unrealistic delusional reliance on force being the answer to every problem.  Then we have the long contrived plans to either damage or overthrow other governments, which in the last few decades has become a standard practice of the United States and some NATO countries. It may have worked well in places like Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan but the game is now up and it is becoming a lot less effective, especially with peer competitors and adversaries. The practice of bluster and bluffing is common practice and the big mistake is they also assume their competitors are doing the same. A recipe for global disaster.

The Ukraine conflict was a planned operation by the western powers, knowing Russia's history and concern for security on their western border, they knew that NATO expansion to include Ukraine would result in military conflict. If they listened rather than dismissed the concerns of Russia they would have known. They knew, but concluded that Russia was weak, a gas station masquerading as a country, and delusionally concluded they could collapse the government, dismember the country and exploits it resources. A dangerous miscalculation that they now refuse to admit and seek an alternative.

Now the Hubris takes over and they fear political damage, what is the message to China, Iran and North Korea? They state that they must prevail or they will be discredited and their standing in the world will diminish. The truth is,  the message is the western world is governed by fools and their standing is diminishing by the day and if their policies are not reversed they may take the whole world's economic system and even civilization down with it.

The real truth is only wise and mature diplomats can admit error and deal with it in a rational way. Fools and the immature can never admit miscalculation, it is always the others who are the villains. 

These policies need to be reversed, it most likely will never be accomplished with the present leaders. There needs to be serious recalculation with new leadership in the U.S. and the EU. A new view toward cooperation and coexistence rather than insisting on global hegemony and resulting catastrophe.
