Have you noticed how the world seems to be in constant turmoil, with various factions vying for control over others? Are you noticing that the balance of power, which once seemed so steady and unshakable, has started shifting ever so slightly? That past alliances are being questioned and that the most reliable past partners are now increasingly disagreeing on the world stage? Surprisingly to many, these changes are anything but new. They are, to a large extent, a constant repetition of patterns and events. They are the tragic results of power and ego, coming together, more often than not, to result in disastrous ends, under the guise of wars fought by soldiers on the battlefields of the world to the hallways of so-called diplomacy. But the results remain the same. Empires rise and empires fall.
