With the fall of “great” Russia’s iron fist, the world really trusted us to lead this planet to a better place, a more tolerant, transparent and loving planet.
Our “great” democracy is failing as a true leader of the world.
Capitalism cannot be the soul motivation of a true democracy; one that is capable of leading this planet to a better place.
As we are now witnessing, our Capitalistic driven nation without a true governor or governors to regulate it’s fuel and speed, is falling victim to the greedy, the now world criminals, the self-serving, the self-righteous.
These true criminals of the world must be eliminated, real economic governors set in place and a promise by our leaders to never let this happen again. Then world body will stand and applaud in hope of a better world.
