Geopolitics: The Greatest Drama on Earth

[Keiiii]

From Elon and Trump having a rift,
Ukraine and Russia still locked in conflict, the Middle East constantly at war, African nations in endless turmoil, tech billionaires stepping into diplomacy, and the West barely holding its grip — now talk of another India–Pakistan war?

The world feels like a never-ending political soap opera.

Nothing stays stable. Everything’s shifting — fast.

What are your frustrations, hot takes, or wild theories in this global chaos? Drop them here.

We could use a world government. That would stabilize things.

I suggest we start with selecting delegates from among those nations least likely to be stakeholders in current affairs. Say, start with penguins, sea lions, and perhaps Vatican City.

The present disorder is an inevitable consequence of humanity's division into independent territorial states -- every government looks out for the interests of its own state as against the others, because what else is it going to do?

Maybe the real issue isn’t that the world lacks order, but that too many players are trying to impose their own version of it. Every power thinks their chaos is someone else’s responsibility. In a world where trust is currency and everyone’s bankrupt, even stability feels suspicious.

Of course the ultimate implication of nationalism is imperialism -- the idea that one's own nation should rule over others. Not even the U.S. is immune to this.

Absolutely — and the irony is, imperialism today doesn’t always come with flags and armies. It’s waged through financial systems, tech influence, media control, and cultural export. Nationalism fuels it, but now it wears a suit and speaks in terms of “partnerships” and “freedom.”
But the question is: are we evolving past old empires, or just disguising new ones better?

If we can’t get clean drinking water and basic healthcare in every country, imagining global Medicare is like designing a spaceship for a species still figuring out fire.

The idea behind world government is that it would be like the European Union -- which is not a French empire or a German empire -- no nation rules over the others.

The EU is definitely the closest thing we have to a functional supranational system — but even that’s constantly tested by internal inequality, bureaucracy, and nationalist backlash (Brexit, anyone?). Scaling that up globally feels less like building consensus and more like managing a thousand different traumas under one roof. The idea’s noble. The execution? That’s where the fractures begin.

Honestly, the chaos is the pain of a world trying to evolve. We’re more connected than ever, which means we’re feeling global instability in real-time. But I don’t think it’s all collapse — I think it’s transition. The old systems aren’t working anymore, and the friction is just part of us figuring out what’s next. Maybe messiness is a sign we’re getting closer to something better.

And which country is the next empire? China? India? Russia?

The industrialized world is running low on the resources it needs to exist. Many nations want bigger slices of a shrinking pie. The situation would have become World War 3, but then we had mass injections of poison to reduce the population and birthrate for at least a generation. The most heavily injected nations may fall off the map. The regional wars will sputter out and flare up again for a while as war becomes less industrialized and more improvised with locally available materials.

What resources? We're not about to run short of petroleum, are we?

What on Earth are you talking about? Birthrates in the industrialized nations are declining, but not for environmental reasons.
