The superpowers don't care about this world. They have and will continue to rape and manipulate the world off of the back of all decent hard working people until there is nothing left.
It doesn't matter which country does it, it is a numbers game to a degree population wise so the more to feed the more need for greed. Anything to keep the masses just above level content so they can continue their insidious ways.
Trust nothing about this world. Nothing. You live, you die, if you're lucky ( or not, depends on your stance ) yiy will get to live out your mediocre existence somewhat happy and safe, otherwise collapse and war and mass genocide/murder is and always will be the answer so long as we are ruled by government.
Which sadly we ironically need to be, because people are stupid violent dickheads who want to murder each other over practically anything. World peace is and will always be off the cards. Onyl stupid people believe otherwise.
