NWOta PUKKAA!! ACHTUNG!!”THE world as we know it may not be the same again. The coronavirus has shut the world down. The globe is out for a very long lunch break. And so is geopolitics.

Sure, a few old powers are still disturbing the universe of people here and there, but they will soon be reduced to pleas for help as their hubris is soon flayed by Covid-19.

Global governance has been in very bad health for a long time. Notwithstanding the presence of the League of Nations, and now, the United Nations, big and powerful nations just went to war as they fancied. They even invented excuses to start some.

Global leaders, mostly members of the UN General Assembly, did urge the world body every now and then to stop big powers from destroying the world. None listened.

Now, Covid-19 has got their attention. The irony is this: a diseased world needs a disease to bring it together. But at least two things must be made to happen before this Humpty Dumpty of a world can be put together again.

Firstly, the hubris of the five UN Security Council members must be flung out of the window, willingly or unwillingly.

Neither China nor the United States (or for that matter the rest of the West) should plan to mould the world in their image. No one political or economic model should be imposed on everyone
