The world is in a deep crisis. The once sacred “rules based world order” is driven to collapse by those who formulated it, especially the most powerful, the U.S. Countries around the world appear powerless when faced with this onslaught created by men with dangerous ideologies. The self-proclaimed  “gatekeepers” of the order have largely fallen silent.

The moral dimension of attacks on people of West Asia, Ukraine, and its impact on the poorest in the rest of the world are swept under the carpet in an atmosphere where military power overrides every other imperative.
