Let's ask the world's leading politicians, why they can not agree!
We know good result of cooperation of the Soviet Union, the US, Britain, France, Czechoslovakia and other countries in the fight against Hitler and his allies. Then, these were states, officially based on contradictory principles and the collaboration only began due to the common existential threat from Hitler's world-conquering ambitions. Now we have organized terrorists instead of Nazis and the situation is even more critical because technology and organization of destruction has reached the status when too many people can easily trigger slaining all of us and all the living things on Earth. Indeed, do we just passively watch how world leaders can not agree? Indeed, can we only look silly how people in Syria suffer because of it and solve, what about those millions of people in this situation desperately fleeing into the unknown?
Individuals
make decisions by feelings developed by evolution for cooperation in
small groups. Therefore, with a little effort they can negotiate with
a potential enemy far better than politicians who decide according to
general aspects and who are constrained by the need to maintain the
support of many people in their charge. Therefore, they hold old
clichés used among the large number of people, which is very
inertial in principle. That is very dangerous in a situation such as
that after World War I and now, when people in a significant portion
of the world feel deceived/defeated. Russians remember strongly their
cooperation with the West in defeating common mortal enemy in the
World War II and then Reagan embracing with Gorbachev during
perestroika prelude to the collapse of the Soviet empire. Did the
democratization effort there really improve their living standards so
that it could compensate for their feeling that they lose their
influence on the development of malignant world? And that they have
got that enemy in a different way trying again to get to neck by
violating the military balance? And that the enemy with an excuse for
their defensive response, by worsening of their living by sanctions
prepares the final assault? There is the cliché clear: NATO is an
enemy just as deadly as Nazis were. In the West we have the cliché:
the Russia is a dictatorship, and dictatorship must be slaughtered
without worry what it costs; still, we are stronger and every
concession to Russia is 'appeasement'. But:
Is
the absolute black and white image of their system against our quite
good and the superiority of our forces and therefore the probability
of our victory so clear? And do we really want to make that last
experiment? Leading US politicians say clearly: the nuclear war with
Russia is not possible, because that would be the end of life on
Earth. The result is
summarized in red words
above, up to now "only"
for the Syria and Ukraine.
What
if the world tried to build
on the cooperation between people in the Russian-American teams of
astronauts and
to let the
society control system to be tested by competition while gradually
improving mostly the system that suits worse the
needs and feelings of the population? .
This
means to build further joint teams, if possible for the most serious
challenges: Ending the war in Syria and the surrounding area and the
settlement of the situation in Ukraine. And to gather the ideas for
solution to which those politicians still are not able to grow and
lead the world to ruin.
Politics
is the art of what is possible. Let's check if some people are
willing to get a bit involved and organize a debate and vote on a
query that needs to be asked those politicians and on a challenge to
world media to ask the questions and to publicly debate the answers.
We call those people for establishing the 'Movement
for question on global cooperation'
in countries of the UN and to future cooperation of them; we propose
a first
approach of the Question to Leaders and Challenge for Media in
that text,
Tomáš
Pečený on
behalf of authors of a possible
scenario for development of the world
(Please
for the proposals of
the question (the
presented solution)
and of the query, and for drafts of a charter of the emerging
Movement. I am ready to publish all of it according to the rules (now
Czech only) at a list
of correspondence;
you can ask for anonymization, especially in the case of a
communication on a petition requesting origin of this Movement,
if
-a/
you support the efforts from abroad or if you are a citizen of the
Czech Republic and you seriously think about its signing;
-b/
you are a citizen of the Czech Republic and you have decided to sign
the petition; 1000 signs are necessary in the Czech Republic.
I
shall deem these communications as private under the rules. I will
continuously publish the numbers of both those categories for each
country. (The further tentative detail relates to the Czechs only.) I
will let posted all the dated versions of this article and of the
first approach to the challenge; those challenges with the
designation 'Question to World Leaders and Challenge for World
Media'.
