The ONLY two reasons that we deal with the silly concept of ‘war’ are (in no particular order) ‘religion’, and ‘money’. Fix that, and diplomacy becomes unnecessary. Frankly, I personally believe that both are a complete waste of time, and deplete our creativity, and coordination. ‘Greed’ and ‘god’ will destroy us- IF we let them.

This is a very disingenuous speech. There are many sentences laid with subtext and diversion. For example, Palestinians aren’t having to ask simply just for ‘dignity’, they are asking for their lives also.

I love that the person said to believe in completing the common ground
For a company it’s profit
For a parent its their children
For a country it’s it people and government
If we all just focus on ourselves than others in terms of our common ground objectives then as a nation and also as a global economy we can grow ✨

Today’s world is totally absent from peace, empathy, love, friendship, brotherhood, dignity, and happiness.
The global nations of the world are engaged in power, greed, and grabbing of other nations’ resources and wealth through politicism, religious biasness and enforcing all kinds of sanctions.
The UN organizations are completely inactive and inefficient to carry out their businesses, for which they came into existence based on the needs by the global nations after the tragic and horrific results of the two great world Wars.
The point lies in what the present nations of the world expect from the UN and its auxiliary bodies?

But islam is controlling the narrative.. their religion is their politics, their values.. and its pretty violent. To them we are the non believers.
