The International 'game' is different than the National 'game'.

Obviously, International politics is different from National politics. When International politics uses the terminology of National politics, it just 'doesn't get it'. Everyone knows that National politics is a direct reference to the National situation, whether institutional, legal, social, or even structural. But, the relation of one Nation to another, or, to all Nations in the World, requires a different International dialogue, one that relates directly to all the Nations, as Nations, in the same World of Power. The International 'game' differs from the National 'game'; and that applies to each and every Nation as a separate political entity with Power. Of course, the National has its problems, and the National, within the International, also has its problems. By that I mean, the vocabulary of different 'International arrangements', differs from the arrangement, of 'National arrangements'. One 'arrangement' could be a Democracy, while another could be a Dictatorship. To mix the 'International dialogue' with the National dialogue in such a situation, just doesn't make sense, even to someone not sophisticated in International politics. When an International leader uses a 'racial slur' extracted from a National 'problem area' within any one Nation, S/he just doesn't get it. The racial slur is on the same level, on the International scene, as something we call, on the National level, 'name calling'. How ridiculous. What kind of leadership can be expected from an International leader that reduces International politics to the level of a little boy engaged in 'name calling'; "my dad can beat up your dad" type of mentality. That, is dangerous. When the personal becomes the 'instigation' of International 'political postures', we are in deep trouble. The People of the International sphere must realize that the problematic of International relations, cannot be played by the rules of any one Nation. If 'race' becomes an issue on the International sphere, every single Nation is in trouble. Why? Because, every Nation is 'Peopled' by a different race. Hey, we need to wake up. Peoples within any Nation learning to 'live together' in a 'condition of togetherness', is one problem; and it needs to be worked out; On the International scene, that problem should 'not exist'. Internationally, any one Nation that cannot live with the different races of Other Nations, in the World, is in deep trouble. In such a scenario, what are the chances that the mind set of, "my Dad can beat up your Dad" will prevail. What are the chances for International peace? Unfortunately, all the problems of politics, both National and International, are dependent on the 'human condition' of the 'Leaders'. How can we change that? I don't know, but I do know, there are more 'People' in the World, than 'Leaders'.
