Yup. Britain became powerful because it controlled the sea lanes. It controlled the choke points like Gibraltar, Singapore and the Suez Canal. It's why London became the world's tranding center and the legal system governing the seas is in London. Whoever has the most powerful navy rules world trade. But crafty private corporations can usurp a nations military to guard their interests. The East India Company used the British military for their own interests. Now the US military is bing used for the interests of corporations. There lies the danger.
Ukraine could turn into another world war real easy. Backing Putin into a corner is dangerous. If we force him to use tactical nukes we are off to something nobody wins. A better alternative is give him an out, make Ukraine neutral. We have pushed Russia and China together and now other countries are siding with them. Geopolitically that is not where you want to be.
Anyways, the western governments are operating on full on crazy mode and the citizens seem naive on what the consequences are. Darwin at work.
