"The rise of power blocs, is being repeated as we see the US/NATO gathering others into the flock and likewise with Russia - China - Syria - North Korea - Iran - Syria ...". ...... yes I've noticed this too..... and the few sitting undecided as to which side to align with. dog help us if India aligns with China and Russia.
meanwhile the food supply is being strangled due to poor weather for good crops as well as the lost Russian/Ukrainian production. National economies are crashing. many millions in famine (again) and looking worse than ever.....
we've seen the best of days is one perspective, while simultaneously great marvels of technology, humanity and food production are changing the world for the better.
I've often pondered that a glass half full remains a glass half empty..... overall I have a confidence in humanity that leaves my glass only about 20% down from full.
