realpolitik of the 21st century

a vision

And so i could pretend there to be
three empires :

nasty well-meaning empires
too big for themselves :

the Americans , the Russians and the Chinese

these three superpowers keep eachother in check ,
ensuring there is no vicious circle opening up in a sino-american bipolar world order
but always pushing towards a peaceful multipolar world order
where doubt and hope prevails .

it's a continuous borderline situation ; 
a continuous balancing 
of forces
too big , scary or overwhelming to imagine
hold on to
and keep beyond anything
for us humble and modest and piously
working and dreaming humans 
as 1oo% of us are
or tend naturally to be 

.

it can be hoped for
that these three superpowers will be the only nations
in possession of nuclear arms in the end .

.

or what do i care
how that corrupt president
will end up
in the end

.

and i see two big international and green people's places :

the European Union or India

.

places you want to flee to
so you need to

.

militarily weaker than the three major empires
due to the lack of united collegial leadership at the head of the EU's administration
and the inegalitarian social system predominant in India
or so it seems to anybody 
but them

.

both keeping them in welcomed mediocrity,
hindering them from becoming stronger than Russia
in international affairs .

reality didn't used to be so clear-cut

( ? )

.

there are also the smaller international players
or powerful nations
advanced by culture , history or technology

or

.

Unfeared by the empires
if it's not for their ability
to unite the world against them

as rebels
humans
upheaved by undignity
or its continued aspect of it

.

in theory

.

such as Britain, Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa, Indonesia and Japan 

.

they are international hubs of political ,
economical , cultural and spiritual activity

Unlike the three empires, the power players presence changes

one day
or never

they accede to international might or lose it ,
depending on the quality of their social life
depending amongst on the quality
of their generation elite .

the players are responsible for growth and innovation
in the peoples' places
to not say , all over the world 

.

because who counts
on China ?
USA ?
Russia ?

.

right ,
left their energy to continue lead to more free trade agreements ,
joint-ventures and technological advancements ,
elevating continuously the game in mutual competition
and keeping societies prosper and just ,
free and stable

.

for outrageous Roman Soccer World Cups
/
amazing Greek Spring and Autumn Olympics 
/
awesome Swiss World Tennis games
/
and the usual bloody village wars
.
for humanity to advance

together

.

.
sustainably
if only that Facebook , Twitter or TikTok would be intelligent ,
or that Gmail be free
or GMX
.

which brings us to the Yemeni ,
Lebanese ,
Singaporeans ,
Uruguayans
... or others

who attach themselves
 more or less independently
to the cloud of one of the power players
and enjoy such their protection
or can profit of economic and other opportunities
opening up their markets in turn

.

they can also hope for food
from Europe
or India

.

i could be wrong of course,
surely i'm wrong somewhere in the logic ,
but i think all in all a fair representation
of what's to come .

kind of

.
