Change doesn’t happen in a vacuum. No one changes their ways just for the heck of it. But if one must change, they’d better do it for the right reasons. Being neutral is a safer bet than adhering to any military alliance. Nobody owes anyone anything. Protection doesn’t come gratis. And sometimes the price is your own existence.
The World is Irony. First, they tell you to get rich. Right?! Then, you do. It’s hard, takes everything you go, but you do it. Right?! Then, they tell you to stop being so goddamn materialistic. Crazy, right?! Right?! And when you ask why, they tell you it’s for the sake of the planet. But do not fret, they tell you. You just stop travelling, consuming, existing, and it’s all going to be good. Right?! If you believe that, you really deserve your fate.

Might unfortunately makes right. Not by virtue but by mere presence. History is written by the victors. And the powerful always win. Not the righteous, not the bold, not the courageous. It’s always the biggest, baddest of them all who carry the day. And morality ain’t in it. Iron will always defeat gold.
