People who do not fight for its own existance deserves to be wiped out. Expect other to save you? Not going to happen.
The Geopolitical Gym Class: When Nations Need to “Fight for Their Gains”
Alright, gather ’round, nations of the world! Listen closely to the booming, disembodied voice from the heavens (or maybe just a particularly stern think-tank report): “People who do not fight for their own existence deserve to be wiped out. Expect others to save you? Not going to happen.”
Now, on the grand stage of geopolitics, this isn’t just about whether you get the last donut at the UN cafeteria. Oh no. This is about strategic autonomy, resource allocation, and making sure your neighboring country isn’t secretly eyeing your lucrative fishing grounds.
This philosophy is basically the ultimate “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mantra, but for entire nations. If your economy is sputtering, if your military budget is more “quaint” than “formidable,” and if your strategic reserves consist mostly of slightly stale biscuits, then according to this decree, you’re basically asking for trouble. And that trouble is not coming with a rescue helicopter. More like a very polite but firm request to vacate your airspace.
Imagine the daily application of this philosophy in the hallowed halls of international diplomacy:
Trade Negotiations: Forget polite handshake agreements. This philosophy dictates that if you’re not aggressively pushing for tariffs on their widgets while simultaneously subsidizing your widgets, you’re not fighting hard enough. Expecting a level playing field? Haha! The level playing field is for nations that deserve to be level.
Climate Summits: While everyone else is squabbling over carbon emissions targets, the truly enlightened nation, according to this philosophy, is secretly developing super-efficient carbon capture technology just for their own air, while subtly encouraging everyone else to go green faster so there’s more clean air left for them. Expecting everyone to save the planet together? Not going to happen! We’re too busy saving our bit of the planet!
Technological Advancement: Are you waiting for a generous patent license from a more advanced nation? Are you hoping for a tech transfer agreement? Pish posh! This philosophy demands that you’re either illicitly reverse-engineering their latest microchip or independently inventing something even better, all while muttering, “We don’t need your Silicon Valley crumbs!”
Responding to Humanitarian Crises: Okay, this is where it gets truly awkward. If a nation is struggling with a natural disaster, this philosophy doesn’t say, “Send aid!” It whispers, “Did they build their infrastructure resiliently enough? Did they invest in early warning systems? Did they fight the hurricane with enough sandbags? If not… well, perhaps nature is simply doing its weeding.” (Though in public, they’d still send a very minimal, highly publicized aid package, purely for optics, mind you).
So, for any nation feeling a bit cozy, relying on international treaties and the general goodwill of humankind, this philosophy is a cold splash of geopolitical water. It’s less about building bridges and more about making sure your side of the river is impenetrable.
