Justin Trudeau is seriously like a nice guy.

I recognize Trudeau to be the leader of Northern America and I love that guy. Donald Trump is not the Leader of the Free World. Little by little, the Free World is falling apart. NATO needs to be reformed. At first, it was formed to combat the rise of communism, but now it needs to combat the rise of authoritarianism. I think NATO should be renamed and welcome countries that aren't located in the vicinity of the North Atlantic. We need to become the guardians of democracy, of peace. This successor organization that I want includes all members of NATO, excluding Turkey, but including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea. Turkey is out of this because Erdoğan has been on a power grab after the attempted coup. We need to get tough on Russia and China, the greatest proliferators of authoritarianism.
But to remain peace in the world, we shouldn't go too strongly against China and Russia and please, don't bring freedom and democracy just in the nations "that want it".
Stopping authoritarianism is one thing, establishing a forced democracy another.

No, no, no, I want the Free World to be peaceful proliferators of democracy. If Russia and China want to proliferate authoritarianism, we need people in authoritarian countries to support democracy and act in civil disobedience, like Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. I strongly believe in three principles: democracy, transparency, and peace. I want to peacefully bring democratic change to this world. I see authoritarianism as a threat and I want everyone to be free and to live not having to worry about being violently murdered. If Russia and China were proliferators of democracy, I would welcome that and everyone could be friends, but they're not democratic.
I didn't mean, that they may not be part of a free, western world.
I only mean: Look in the middle east and Libya, what a forced democracy/regime change by us West-powers has set free.... Tip: It isn't something, we like.

I agree. I didn't support the Iraq War nor the intervention in Libya (I was only 5 when the former began). There needs to be change, but that can only be done if the people on the ground seek it. I cannot believe that people would accept living in poverty while their tyrant uses his power to be richer, which is prevalent in Africa and the Middle East.

I def. agree about Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea and making a more international coalition that supports freedom, peace and the Geneva Conventions.
I've always liked Russia, and it has a rich and beautiful culture and history, and wish that it was a fellow nation to the USA rather than a competing nation. I think the US should make peace with Russia as long as Russians aren't taking over Eastern European countries or other aggressive actions ike that. As for China, there is the issue of Tibet and also some of the authoritarian policies. China is a superpower and if they could become more positive for their own 1billion and growing population then the world would be a better place. We also owe a lot of debt to China and I wonder how that would play out.

I did support the intervention in Libya, and I still believe it was justified, as Gaddafi was a genuine asshole and there was wide support for his removal in the country itself (remember, there was a giant armed rebellion against him). Besides, there was UN authorization, and most countries agreed that Gaddafi had to go. However, the world just forgot about it all, and neither the UN nor NATO concerned themselves to ensure a peaceful transition. As for the Irak War, it is pretty obvious now that it was an attempt on Bush's part to get access to Irak's oil reserves, which led to disastrous consequences on the long term.
I do think the Western World should be a bulwark against authoritarianism. However, to be taken seriously in that role, there must be no more support of dictatorships simply because they hate someone we also hate. For example, one of the reasons the US is still widely despised here in Latin America is because of the numerous democratic governments they toppled, and the dictatorships they installed and supported: the ones in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, and Uruguay killed thousands of dissidents and "disappeared" many more while the ones en Guatemala and El Salvador brutally persecuted their political opponents and perpetrated genocidal campaigns against indigenous peoples. That US mindset that they have a divine right to topple any government they want if it doesn't bow to US interests must disappear. @Escade: I too wish that Russia became a friend of the West one day. I've always admired their culture (I even based most of my RP nation's culture on Russia's!), and I wish to someday travel there. However, as long as they keep bullying their neighbors and taking land from them, they'll get no support from me.

The entire Brexit fiasco should have been a warning sign on what to expect when you vote with your heart but not with your brain. We have a tiny bunch of racists, "hard" conservatives and ultra-nationalists blaming all their problems on the EU and migrants and pushing for a referendum to get out, managing to convince a misinformed and disgruntled populace by reminding them of the "old days" (back when the UK didn't have to answer to anyone because it physically controlled a third of the world and could impose its will by force). However, they had no idea what to do after winning (as they didn't expect to win on the first place), and now that they have alienated much of Europe they are desperately searching for friends. I am genuinely worried, as it seems that Scotland may eventually try to secede if things go south.
