Globalism

Mostly due to President Trump's skepticism, the Globalist movement is clearly in full retreat. Now, my not being an expert in this area, does not keep me from offering my opinion:

The Globalists moments ... the League of Nations  after WWI and the United Nations after WWII ... grew out of the universal horror of these wars. These organizations were noble but naive attempts because very little thought had been given to how the whole world coiled be governed. The League of Nations quickly died of this malady ... and the United Nations is in the sick bed. I'm guessing that atomic weaponry has had a lot more to do with stopping world wars than those chattering well-fed diplomats on Manhattan's East River.

Now, I cannot design the perfect template for world government nor, it seems, can any group of brainiacs. The contract between the world's people and the Globalists who populate the United Nations (and Brussels) was that, in exchange for the surrender of some sovereignty and treasure, they would get "peace" and prosperity.

This clearly had not happened. Although, much despite the United Nations ' desire, capitalism and energy discoveries have done much to improve the economies of the world. The UN has mostly been a passive observer in the world's conflicts. In fact, the UN white helmets have mostly disgraced themselves wherever  they have been deployed.

Too many nations now see globalism to be another failed experiment ... and, until there is a lot more realism and common sense applied to this effort, atomic weaponry may do more to keep the peace than any naive "world government." The design of an effective Global Union may be impossible...  bu it is well beyond the collective genius of the framers of our Constitution. In the meantime, it's Nationalism.
