Forget about enemy countries and terrorist organisations. Corruption is the biggest enemy of the Western World.
The imbalances that endanger the Western World have been
created by the Western World and we have reached such point as a direct consequence
of having proven to be unable to cope with new realities. Key nations of the Western World have been
committing either one error of judgment after another or this has been the
intention from the very beginning by exploiting chaos as a way to divert
resources into the hands of private operators that could not care less about
the common good.
No matter how many technological advances the Western World
has and no matter how much financial power the Western World has, corruption
ends up destroying the things we care most about.
Conflicts are being used to syphon money away from where it
is most needed. Under the cover of national security and defence used as
justification, vast amounts of resources are being squandered with little or no
accountability.
There is no mystery regarding the fact that we seem to go
from one conflict into another. Conflicts mean money. Being constantly at war or
about to go to war is the perfect excuse for misuse of taxation monies and elected
representatives are very much part of the game. Therefore, we cannot expect
that this situation will go away any time soon.
The monies that were supposed to help Iraq disappeared into
thin air. No wonder then about what will happen to the billion of Pound sent to
Ukraine. Long before the conflict in Eastern Europe started, Ukraine was swimming
in corruption. There is no reason to believe that the same levels of corruption
have not been swallowing foreign aid.
Both in the USA, Britain and elsewhere, such state of
affairs is being financed with public borrowing. We borrow, borrow and borrow
and when things reach crisis point then we talk about cutting down public expenditure
that allows the survival of vital services.
