Somewhere.. Across the Ocean. Australia - What Now?

It seems the US is purposely working to isolate Australia from all its possible trade partners to keep it in American orbit. First starting an unnecessary war of words with China. Next angering France just before a free trade agreement with the EU is to be finalized.

Let’s find out – if Germany supports the delay of the free trade agreement – then perhaps that’s what the Americans want – if not then I am wrong and it’s just France whingeing about the lost billions.

America is trying to weaken the EU by encouraging the small EU members to disobey the powerful German and French masters in Brussels, but do not have the money to that Brussels can afford to spend. On the other hand, Germany seems increasingly less keen to finance Eastern ‘dissidents’ like Poland and Hungary.

Now Australia participates into two military arrangements against it's main business partner - China. Both are with America - one with Britain, the other one with Japan and India. How that will affect all of us remains a mystery.

The Quest for an Empire - TQE

The quest for an empire – powerful enough to deter all potential enemies and thus secure peace and prosperity for its subjects!

How did humanity try (and keeps trying ) to achieve this dream, where did we succeed and when and why did we fail?

I an attempt to discover a pattern I noticed that:

It obviously starts with concentration of power to achieve security, followed by large development, defence and ideological projects. Soon concentrated power leads to abuse, abuse erodes support for the government and ultimately the empire fails. Therefore, better systems – those with a better chance of survival are those that have implemented better governance. Good accountability is essential for good governance. Therefore, in essence, accountability is indispensable for sovereignty.
