Chickens have come home to roost

 The great war leaders, the statesmen of the times, defeated the axis of evil, and emerged victorious after four years of devasting second global warfare. Humankind had never suffered so much self-inflicted loss and pain, and yet, the leaders of the day could do was not build a just international order,  but create only a mechanism to drain global wealth to themselves and secure their political hegemony. The system was never effective if the violations involved any of the big five, directly or indirectly. Now, again, the same system becomes totally ineffective to stop acts of aggression and annexations as the very leaders holding the levers of global order indulge in grave violations of international propriety. Humankind must think unitedly to overcome the evil designs of the powers that be and stop the brutalities perpetrated on them.

The International Order

The international order, as it exists, is not an order that streams from the nations' relations. It is a thing, an object. It was victors' booty, which they churned out of the global conditions then. It is a resource they have been keeping and exploiting thence. But, as it stands, it is overdone. It is not serving even the victors now, and more critically, it is no longer effective enough to impose itself as an order. A revamp must be thought over and carried out.
