If all you care about it economic prosperity.... I have some bad news for your core tenets.

It's not about what citizens care about, although we're finding out how much average citizens care, right now, and as the robbing of the average citizen to fund the ultrawealthy and their sociopathic world genocidal tendencies continues to accelerated, I think we'll really see how well those values hold water. People already whine about can't miss work, they have better weapons, it can be worse. Newsflash, we've not scratched the surface of bad.

Anyway, as was recently noted elsewhere, governments have interests dictating policy and alignment. Nothing more, nothing less. The people either have decency and nobility, or they don't. Just don't go expecting governments to. There may be an exception or few, but those are probably the ones the West demonize the most, in the interest of maintaining economic hegemony. Not for you or me, but the money masters and power brokers. They won't give us a farthing more than absolutely necessary to keep us from dragging them from their gilded beds and toilets that occupy their ivory towers.
