you don't get it, important decisions are made due to power and capability. Might makes right.
China and India and any other grows in stature due to what they can provide and make in the form of security,order, goods and services,etc and also due to Pure Power like in the cases of military might,economic influence,etc .
What I am questioning you is your attempt to smuggle in your secular God of Humanism or the Myth of a Common Humanity. There is no humanity - we are just different tribes and we just occupy the same earth. what interests each tribe(atleast the smart ones) is the transactional benefits and nuisance value of other tribes.
I have influenced along with some other members in this forum to slowly chip away at all forms of liberalism and humanism in this forum in all it's forms as it is not conducive to good decision-making for any nation wanting to grow more powerful.I don't care if another person,especially a non-indian finds these hyper-realist nationalist values and thought process offensive. They can poison their country with it and watch it decay as it's utilized by other tribes like the pakistani migrants that stomp in your country and cause problems.
I understood but only nationalism wont get you far,you need a good image also.
Take China as an example,nationalist to the core but its image prevents it from having a say in the world.
Im a Turkish nationalist but this doesnt mean i have no values no IQ to think or decency.
I dont treat people like shit because i can i treat them like shit because they deserve it.
China treats all countries like shit because it can but does it have any respect or will it be able to keep its position?
No,most manufactoring is going to Vietnam and other surrounding countries,Africa is a bust because of the way China conducts business,its defence industry only makes sales to those not able to buy anywhere else,there is no stable relationship China has.
Iran sells gas and oil,Russia same,the GCC,Egypt bought Chinese military equipment and regretted it.
If all these countries had better choices they would ditch China in a second.
Coming back to my country,
Yes these damn migrants are a huge problem and people are fed up with it,Erdogan promissed to do something but nothing happened so people are angry.
I guess this is how you create a racist nation,most Turks are now against Arab,pakistani,Aghan ''refugees''.
We have almost 10 million,people want them out,they cause many problems.
If nothing happens soon,Erdogan wont last long.
