While the US President ordered the US special forces to enter Venezuela and capture its legitimate president, in what was considered by the US Government as a “law enforcement operation,” this has triggered so much talk and discussions among political analysts and online influences about the international law, the concept of the rule of law, and more importantly, about the nature of the modern state itself.
Actually, the definition of the modern state has become one of those words whose meaning keeps changing to the extent that it forms a continuum, a plethora of meanings, a vague notion, or generic term that can mean anything the speaker wants. Nonetheless, I think that the meaning of the modern state is much simpler, as well as it is well defined.
Up until the beginning of the 20th century, the world has been different. Its political landscape consisted of different empires, political powers, regional kingdoms, guerilla warfare, remote tribes, autonomous political leaders, and true competition for natural resources and exploration. Borders and power limits were defined by geography and the size of the military power. However, due to relatively unsophisticated existed technology, means of transportation and communication, and due to pre-industrial revolution military weapons and equipment, no power had the ability to become global no matter how far they would reach. In the end, the world had place for multiple and competitive empires and powers, which eventually was reduced to two major camps: the West led by the British Empire and the US Republic (a British puppet regime), and the Ottoman Empire, which represented the Muslim world.
Given the rapid changes in technological advancement, transportation, military equipment, unprecedented increase of population, and the radical transformation of the economy as a global network, the world no longer had place for two or more powers. Muslims lost political ground. The Ottoman Empire fell. The West rose. There could be much divine wisdom in all of this, but that’s a totally separate topic.
In November, 1918, the British Empire’s soldiers – mercenaries from all over the British territories, marched in Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Caliphate. The world changed forever. There were no more two empires, many regional kingdoms, independent tribal leaders or political guerilla groups who could live separate from the global empire. It was a new phase, the phase of one global government.
Shortly after the fall of Istanbul, the British Empire established the League of Nations whose headquarters were placed in Geneva, Switzerland. This was more or less the new face of what would be known as the global government representing the political dominance of the British Empire and the US Communist Regime.
Under the British-US Global Government, countries are merely administrative units which function and operate under its strict super centralized political control. This global government reserves the right to appoint or recognize state leaders, start wars, change boarders, make economic policies, make and impose laws, control the educational system, control the global economy and banks, and have the exclusive right to establish military and intelligent power. So, modern states have a pure administrative purpose; they’re not independent political units.
