Mini-Post: Bullies

[Editorial]

Have you noticed that bullies are coming out of the wood work... I'm not talking about bigots but rather countries.

I'm talking about Chine's aggression in the South China Sea and now in the Yellow Sea. But now we have India attacking Pakistan that was in response to the massacre in Kashmir.

Then we have the never ending war in the middle-east.

Right now, the global system is facing several overlapping crises—wars, economic uncertainty, climate stress, and political polarization it seems like every nation is facing internal strife and unrest.

Norway is looking at the defenses for Svalbard because of increase interest by Russia, Denmark is also beefing up the defenses of Greenland. Is that because of Trump's bullying or saber-rattling by Russia?

There is no one policing the bullies or they are too afraid of them.

I am worried that the pendulum has swung so far to the right that is stuck there and that it will be a generation before it begins to swing again.
