It's becoming obvious that the world once firmly controlled by the USA and west (white countries) is changing with new powerful groups or alliances formed by bricks which recently became bigger and in my opinion will only grow in power and influence. So what's the world going to look like if not run by the west ,many of the countries involved in bricks are not democracies, have fewer human rights ect. Should we the west accept this or push back . Do we have a right to rule it's sure in our history since the Greek roman empires western folk have ruled the known world that's the past 2000 year ..read more
