Context
Humanity is an ever-changing organism. Modern society is railed by rules, standards, and laws. In recent history, several attempts have been made to unify humanity and have common laws. Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 for example. And the League of Nations. And finally the United Nations.
Parallel to the good intentions, group powers and armament developed. And this painted an evolving picture for the reality of all good intentions embedded in the UN and such. Causing these intentions becoming obsolete time and time again. And thus also the UN. Russia goes its own way. Islamic extremists like Iran go their own way. All undermining the so-called global rule based society.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine triggered a whole new power and armament reality. As happened in the past, all kind of new technology pops up that did not exist when the last time armament was tested in real battle. And again, painting a complete new power picture. Russia and China appear not to be the powers they were from the perspective of the existed armament conventions.
What we should have learned and did not learn is that rules or laws without law enforcement are useless.
Another thing what is overlooked all the time when painting a new international order is that we (humans being land animals) always focus on who owns what land. While the fact of life is that the waters (oceans) connect us. And at the same time, the oceans are natural borders. The best uniting power forewords are a focus of humanity on the international role of the oceans, not on nation on solid grounds. Ground is secondary to the need for human cooperation. We as a species can not live any longer with sea terror like what the Houthi's are doing in the Red Sea.
NATO is North Atlantic. Oceans need to be safe for trade to serve humanity best. Policing the oceans is a task that is beyond land borders. We as humanity have to take a step to get the land wartimes behind us and need to cooperate on the next level.
What humanity requires right now!
An investment into a better future for humanity.
