We are about to see a global shift in the balance of power around The World; a little push here... a little tug there... an overreach with nothing to grab. It only looked like something was there, and then... a long slow tumbling of dominoes or... a much speedier descent. It is hard to tell for sure because when one thing happens... there are several possibilities of reaction, and then something else happens, and... the possibilities expand logarithmically.
There have been a number of well-informed commentators who have held forth on war, government... and the stages of Revolution... before, and... in the aftermath. Sun Tzu comes to mind... Machiavelli... Von Clausewitz... Kautilya... Thucydides, and of course, Lao Tzu. Sometimes war is not the answer, and sometimes... you don't have a choice. For every measured and circumspect mind that cares only for the welfare of the country... there are madmen... bloodthirsty psychopaths, and wild-eyed revolutionaries aplenty.
It seems that counterparts are mysteriously born to contend with one another; by this time... one could say it is a given. Great criminals give rise to the varieties of law enforcement. The rich and the poor counterbalance one another... until there are far more poor than rich. Then revolution becomes inevitable and heads wind up on pikes or... bodies twist in the wind... outside the ruined palace gates; literal? Metaphorical? You can count on all of the above... while the corpses are interned in The Earth below.
