      It may need to be the EU. I know the EU isn’t a nation, but as a block perhaps Europe has the power and influence to lead the effort. Maybe a new entity needs to be established, a global union of nations. Or maybe a union of continents. Maybe each continent should establish its own union of nations (I think every continent already has some kind of union of one type or another) and then have a global union of continents. I don’t necessarily know the best course of action, all I know is the US cannot lead.

      I think the real problem that no one in the US is prepared to deal with is we are the bad guys in almost every situation. Once you peel off the thin veneer of freedom and supposed rights you are left with a militaristic corporate oligarchy. One that regularly uses and abuses human beings.

      It is no surprise we played both sides before being involved in WWII. Powerful influential people from the US helped bank roll the Nazi party.

      Then when this poison tree bore fruits the Nazi came to the US and other countries asking that we take the Jews.

      The same people who backed the Nazi party in the US said hell the fuck no and doomed the Jews to die.

      Then we go in killing a shit ton of innocent civilians and declare we are good guys. That’s right the people who helped create the Nazi and deny the Jews safety are the good fucking guys. Unfucking believable.

      The truth behind the US is so ugly no one can truly face it. This is just one story in the book of fuckups we have perpetrated around the world.
