We are told that security in the Middle East requires defeating Iran, security in East Asia requires defeating China, and security in Europe requires defeating Russia. We never discuss security in terms of how to learn to live together by harmonising interests and managing competition. This is by design. This is hegemonic peace, in which security depends on defeating rivals rather than managing a balance of power. Subsequently, security relies solely on deterrence rather than reassurance; diplomacy is dismissed as appeasement; peace agreements are temporary and deceptive; and war is peace. Our rivals do not have legitimate security concerns, as their policies are allegedly always motivated by aggressive, irrational, or expansionist behaviour. We have convinced ourselves that our liberal hegemony is a force for good, and that our opponents oppose our dominance because they reject our benign values of freedom. Discussing the security concerns of adversaries is believed to “legitimise” their policies, which is treasonous. The world is divided into good guys (liberal democracies) and bad guys (autocracies). We should not ask how defeating Russia, as the world's largest nuclear power, is a rational security strategy, or why our governments refuse to even speak with Moscow to discuss the European security architecture and end the war. Our governments have relabelled nuclear deterrence as nuclear blackmail to signal that there can be no more constraints. All empires can become irrational during decline. Leaders take greater risks to avoid decline, legitimacy crises at home must be distracted with enemies abroad, outdated strategies from a bygone era of strength are still embraced, and there is a tendency to double down on narratives of being indispensable, representing universal values, and dismissing all opposition as illegitimate and dangerous. Are we the fanatics?

"Con la ayuda de dios, vamos a empezar a ejecutar palestinos, aspiro a ver como matan al primero, al segundo, al tercero... y después vendrá una gran ola de palestinos ejecutados, es justo y moral". El psicópata genocida de Ben Gvir, ministro de Seguridad Nacional de "Israel", asegura que disfrutará viendo como asesinan a una gran ola de palestinos con la ley de pena de muerte, después de haberles quitado en prisión el derecho a comida, el derecho a estudiar, el derecho a salir al patio... Este engendro nazi debe acabar como los fascistas italianos en la plaza Loreto de Milán, es un enfermo que disfruta con el exterminio de un pueblo.
