      I love it when people ask a Lemmy user to propose a solution to a complex issue, especially when the issue is one that entire groups of people spend years studying.

      Oh, a practical, workable solution for world peace that satisfies all parties involved? Coming right up!

      Do you think you might be actually be talking to a diplomat or other high level government official? Are you interested in the subject and looking to start a good-faith discussion? Do you have an idea of your own that you want to bounce off someone knowledgeable? Are you simply trying to shut things down?

      What is my proposed solution to the nuclear bomb threat? The middle east conflict? The inequality of rich vs. poor? What do you expect from me? That I write a 5 liner about NK being a proxy of china and then also in 5 additional lines solve that problem? You know, things are complex and I am sure if you give me 10.000 pages, 24 Month and 30 experts with each 10 connections to three letter agencies of 10 different countries, there might be some ways to get something that could be defined as a “way” or “solution” but we are talking about global politics. To just define the player and their positions in this game is too complex for a simple Lemmy post. Let alone the 20 year plan for a “solution”. I advice you to read on this topic of publications from the last 30 years. Then you can skip the part about the positions of players in the game and might find that its a equation of a conflict between democratic vs. authoritarian that will play out in the next 30-60 years. The last try by the west to open up china to more democracy by opening the markets did not worked out. Chinese citizen were allowed to open companies and bring goods to western markets while westerns were not able to own companies in china. China pulled up the great firewall, increased surveillance, exporting that surveillance tech to other despots and dictators, tracking citizens even in other countries to suppress their words against that regime in china and is cracking down on freedoms in general even more since Xi got into power. So now the west is looking for another “solution” for the authoritarian threat looming over the world.
