My perspective is that we are in a transition that I describe as the Two Global Forces. There is the global force of centralized institutions of governance and finance, and the global force of networks of relationships. I see that the former has entered a state of weakness leading to decline. The latter are locally focused relationships that can have a global scope. I am more convinced today than ever that the future will be more locally focused as global networks of local people and groups address the real problems that the world faces through global networks of relationships. My question is why should India invest money and materiel in a war that is principally a local/regional problem. I am convinced that the only reason the US is involved is that we have economic investment in Ukraine that is under treat by Russia. Every crisis is a local one. So, is this war.
