Clarity

I say to look to natural reserves as a source of power not for bringing hatred, but for clarity about power.

I don't want any Global War - God forbid. But the vocabulary of "oppression" is being perverted for political agendas.

Africa was raped? Yes, and it was a bloody shame.

India was mistreated, and so were native americans and some others.

But China and the Arab Nations had Strong Empires along most of History.

This in no way means we should consider all chinese people or arab people as inherent enemies. That would be untrue and morally wrong.

But extending the oppressed condition to Nations who aren't victims of oppression is a historical mistake.

And leads us to strange inversions.

Like calling the Jews colonizers. Jews are not colonizers of other peoples. As a people - because of course there are bad individuals everywhere - but as a people, they've just been carrying on.

And Israel is the only country they ever had - back there, and now.
