    It's a great honour and respect of such a good American who brings out in details of what his government has had dishonored many walked-out agreements by causing many chaos, tensions and unnecessary wars around the world. Congratulation and thanks for his courage to admit of what his government did various inhuman and unpeacefulness to the world.

    Why is this great man's wise words so much ignored? Why are mainstream media not carrying his tireless warnings for peace and human survival? Why do I have the feeling that the world is not picking up the broken pieces to meet the challenges for peace and not war, for goodwill and not hate?

    I agree with most of his comments about the behavior and non-cooperation of international leaders. The WTO and WHO failed to enhance the world's cooperation. Both world organizations are corrupt and fail to act on behalf of the world. Instead, they acted as puppets for some corrupt nations. However, the speaker did not express the threat of China's "Belt and Road". Instead, he just commented on how the U.S. is accusing China of baseless facts. The speaker simplified China's threat to the world and made no mention of China's trade war with Australia and Lithuania.

    You're thinking, unfortunately, like an American Neo-conservative, one hallmark of which is to be threatened by another nation's success and smart choices. It's a zero-sum thinking. And getting into the nitty-gritty with specific trade conflicts (China--Australia/Lithuania) at a conference like this is going way beyond what a keynote speech should address. I understand that you are worried about China's aggression related to expansion in the South China Sea (and now they're working with Russia), but look at what the US has done in its hegemonic philosophy globally. While we were spending $5 trillion on two failed wars, China was incorporating 70 nations into its Belt and Roads Initiative. I'm sure you already know this. We also completely sold out our domestic production to China under Bill Clinton and successive presidents. We're currently pushing Russia even closer to China by giving $55 billion to Ukraine and letting Finland and Sweden into NATO. We have no grounds to complain at this point. The destruction of the US has happened--and continues to happen--from within.
