MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY

17-01-2025

These words are from U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in  his message to  Congress on April 2, 1917 with which he seeked a Declaration of War against the German Empire, "in order that the world be made safe for democracy". As he wrote in the message: "Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the physical might of the nation, but only the vindication of right, of human right, of which we are only a single champion....Our object now..is  vindicate the  principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power....its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty." The full text of his message is attached to this item.

Will that purpose of US policy come to an end on January 20, 2025 with the inauguration of Donald Trump as U.S President?? That is what he promised and prepared for.

If so, without continuing the American purpose for more than a century, to make the world safe for democracy, the United States will no longer be a major world power in the twenty-first century. Multi-billion olicharchs are no peacemakers as we should have learned from Vladimir Putin's terror regime.

The Illusions of Detente

Footprints of the 20th Century - Third Edition

Description

Since 1989, we refer to the whole post-war period as the “Cold War Era”. Such was not the case in 1968. At the time, the Cold War – in our perception – was behind us. We no longer felt to be in the midst of it. Europeans on the Western side of the Iron Curtain0 felt relatively at ease with Europe’s division. The era of Détente as we called it, was0 considered to be a fairly stable and long-lasting political condition, even after Soviet tanks crushed Dubcek’s socialism with a human face in Pragu
