It is important that the leader of a government does not base their strategy on a mere wish and theorize such wisdom, as it will always result in flattery and praise from those below, which leads to the country being trapped in the production of flawed and costly paradigms, accepting them as traditions in governance and a significant part of their policymaking.
If only politicians would realize that the world does not revolve around our ideals and wishes, but rather operates based on realities, laws, and current circumstances. Going against global norms without sufficient economic and political power will only result in the failure of nations.
