A South Korean navy ship was sunk following an explosion near the stern--possible from a North Korean torpedo. The recent North-South political difficulties highlight the kind of problems with economics and political environment the world faces today as it fails to rise to the challenge presented unto itself, from itself.

While the U.S.A. and Russia have agreed to limit themselves to perhaps 1500 larger atomic warheads apiece--we are sure this is enough to get the job done of vaporizing whomever needs to be vanished from the planet along with so many endangered species and the web of life on Earth. There is the consolation that humanity is making countless new products each year that can be adapted to end all life on Earth or just particular species or populations.
The nuclear weapons approach is crass and crude today. It is written that an atomic weapons dust up between India and Pakistan might bring on a global freeze up and catastrophic loss of human and other life because of all the particulates that would be put up into the upper atmosphere from ground level nuclear detonations. heres the hope that wisse heads will prevail and any atomic weapons used will not be detonated at ground level but instead at perhaps 20,000 feet above the major cities of each nation such that everyone dies below but not as much dust is kicked up to chill down the entire globe.
The United States and Russia ought rightly to be natural allies since they have so much in common including a Christian heritage and experience in creating large networks or soviets of organizations to repress individualism. Corporatism and its networks betraying western heritage for cheap profits in China may seek to exploit Russia sufficiently to defeat national self-interest and bring it under the wing of the Supreme Global Corporate Soviet of Wall Street listed trans-national corporations. The United States needs Russia to fend off the growing Chinese military and atomic threat--not to mention that of Iran and the rest of the terrorist elements of the Muhammadanist world.
China has more than twice the population of that of the United States and Russia put together...so mutual military alliances against China are a natural development. Even better would be trilateral agreements that would have China voluntarily limit its atomic weapons increase and conventional military too, in order to save that wasteful outlay beyond that reasonably needed for self defense.
In theory the less China develops its offensive military capacity the less either would the United States or Russia need to develop there own--and with the fundamentally wrong regulation of world economic practices regarding environmental impact, the military focus of the three potentially or actually largest atomic weapons powers should be contained and reduced a little to free up political focus upon more forced ecological rectification issues. Atomic weapons development is an anachronistic direction that the world cannot afford today.
Ecological economic rectification requires not only the use of resources renewably so far as possible, but the elimination of habitat destruction and the end of chemical despoiliation of ecosystems--not even plastic cups should be used by the worlds male human population because of the release of estrogen like chemical compounds over time. Governmment regulation of categories of chemical use needs to be strictly designed and enforced.
A free market in Adam Smith's 1776 is different than that of 2010. There were no corporations then and a free market was contrasted to the aristocratic monopoly of trade enjoyed by the King and licensed royals. Today a free market is controlled by networks of large social organizations called corporations. Individuals have little real free trade opportunity that would conflict significantly with the totalitarian market control of existing large capitalized elites.
In order to restore a free market, the government should have differential income taxes upon profits from corporate shareholders such that shares and income from more than three corporation would be taxed at a 75% rate. To prevent cascading network control by elites of business through stock purchases government must actively seek to limit stock woning for an individual to three businesses. Then more free market phenomena for individuals might occur, and large, vested corporate interest may relax their grip on economic rectification toward an ecologically rational enlightenment regard they have generally resisted in blind pursuit of monetary profit.
