Head for a better world

The other day I was watching an episode of commander in chief in which an American spy sub was trapped underwater in Northern Corean waters. The president made a deal with the Chinese in which they’d rescue them (150 people) in exchange for America looking the other way on the Chinese weapon sales to Myanmar and some other countries. Be sure to have in mind the bad relationships between the USA and North Corea.

There are just so many wrong things in this scenario.

Espionage and the problem between countries are, as far as I’m concerned,somewhat necessary and unavoidable problems on our decadent world….

However it is absolutely unacceptable:

-What the Chinese thought: selling weapons to Myanmar will give the Chinese people millions, which will improve their living conditions. The weaponry industry will create thousands of new jobs. The American will also lower their taxes on Chinese imported products giving them more.

-What the American thought: we won’t get harmed by the weapons sale, will save 150 navy seals, won’t have as much trouble controlling the Chinese and will straighten bonds with the them.

Now here is what the both of them didn’t think about:

the good people of Myanmar will be paying for weapons to kill some other people with their taxes. The lessening American taxes will be coming right out of their pockets. If the corean find out, there is a chance that’ll trigger a war against the USA and China, costing more and more lives (much more than the 150 that were aware of the risks) and this is the beginning of a chain reaction of favours ,likely to be in moral grey areas which are half way to disaster!
