After the Yalta meeting the two big powers, the
United States and Soviet Union, were both vigilant for
the other to respect the area of predominance each has
been assigned. Each of them wanting to spread its
predominance, the two Great Powers were confronting each
other, hence the hazard of a new world war. Both empires
were by turns successful or frustrated ; for example, the
loss of Vietnam by the United States and the Soviet Union
seeing China draw apart.
Discords between nations (and particularly between
neighbors) take place apart from the clash between the
two Great Powers and lead to numerous regional wars, the
latest example being the war between Iran and Iraq. Now
it is obvious that, in that case at least, the Great
Powers, had done nothing to spark off the conflict and,
on the contrary, tried to keep it within bounds and avoid
other countries becoming involved in it, fearing it might
grow into world war.
Why have the Big Powers, both of them, a frenzy for
world domination that leads to over-armament and the
utmost wariness when a minor conflict comes about ? The
answer is in the fear of the utter cataclysm nuclear war
would mean, not only for the nations that wage it but for
the whole of humankind. Why, then, does this absurd state
of things endure, this mad increase in nuclear arms when
it is assumed they will never be made use of ? Why, which
es just as absurd, do we depend on the wisdom of world
leaders when any megalomaniac or lunatic could trigger
off nuclear Armageddon ?
To put an end to a situation fraught with perils, it
would be so simple to choose the law to solve the
problems between nations instead of using violence. To
reach this aim, to work for the common law to be
respected, the only way, and this is what mundialists
whish, is that each nation give up the concept of
absolute national sovereignty, a concept that has already
become obsolete thanks to many international conventions,
that each nation give up sovereignty in all the fields
where the welfare of humankind is at stake.
That is the price to pay for the survival of our
species !
