The challenge of Russia-China World Order

By T.S. Khanna, March 25, 2023,

Foundation For better Government,

 

The whole sphere of human thought is set out with logical obstructions; even human logic is obstructed by religions invoking the power of God perceived as beyond human logic.  Some people from the visions of the invisible Almighty, seem to have established two opposite theories: Caste system (inherent inequality of man in Rig Veda) and “All men are created equal” in the Declaration of American Independence.  Experience shows both wrong at times.  The only certainty seems to be the innate human desire to dominate others.  This has been the basis most wars fought in the past.

 

Equality of all men (persons) has been the bedrock of American democracy, lifting people out of poverty and misery like never before.  And, like never before, now there is a new challenge of Russia-China trying to establish a new World Order under their domination.

 

The Founders of American Democracy expressed with rigor the political dilemma of their time and established American Government, fitting their vision of human equality.  At the time, modern time dilemmas could not be envisioned and the Government was not designed to meet them.

 

No matter what political theory a constitution adopts, it can work with only certain assumptions and probabilities. There can be no mathematical certainties in it.  In handling the ensuing crisis, much depends on the smarts of the persons at the helm of affairs.

 

Democratic process, by its very nature is divisive and slow.  The responsibility and accountability of public officials are not well defined in American Democracy.  To overcome these weaknesses, it is suggested that the President may appoint a ten-person emergency committee (five from each party) for quick actions in response to constantly changing risks and policy readjustments.

 

The President, along with the proposed committee, may clearly define the American goals publicly.  Clarity of goals to the public and officials will provide a basis of unity for

the divided people and the parties; provide a basis of good judgment by officials at critical moments; and, steadily channelize national energy in a cumulative manner.

 

Democracy can thrive only on non-partisan public power.  Common goals will unite the public and generate that power.
