AN AXIOM BUSTER FOR THE NEW YEAR
The essential purpose of the Peace of Westphalia is to establish a new political principle of world development based on the ADVANTAGE OF THE OTHER. If that principle is not established strongly among the belligerents of a conflict, war will start again at the first opportunity. The Peace of Westphalia is the only means to put an end to imperial geopolitics. However, the idea of giving the ADVANTAGE TO OTHERS is not for the purpose of making other people equal to you, but for the purpose of making them better than you.
