For many years now, the West has demanded that the rest of the world convert to its ideology. That's now falling apart due to the West's hypocrisy.

Look at how the West talks about Russians today - far from being a tolerant, open minded culture, Westerners have self-serving lies.

Rather than indulge in judgment on which framework is more true or morally laudable, it is worth highlighting that the West loses the moral high ground if it proves more willing to risk nuclear war than establish a framework that acknowledges the validity of concerns that stem from different political systems.

While it remains open to dispute whether the post-Christian cultures of Western democracies are suitable as paradigms for the rest of the world, a realistic picture of conflict resolution must conceive of a diversity of socio-political orders in terms of a meta-ethical or meta-political plurality if resolutions are to be rediscovered at the point of a pen rather than the barrel a gun.

I would argue that it is not. Western living standards are falling and foreign policy has been based on self serving lies.
