I think the real story here is how much the world has come together to take military action as a group. We’ve seen it over and over in recent years.

When I was single-digits old, I went to the theater to see this low-budget film about the world at some point in the future. Buildings where all reclaimed by nature and there was one government controlling the entire world. Nobody worked, but it wasn’t presented as much of a utopia either.

The movie was cheesy and not worth noting much, except I have toyed with the notion of the world heading towards one government since then.

I think it is really true. Step by step, inch by inch it appears to be happening and much quicker than I expected. Think of the Euro Zone, for example.

I doubt countries will cease to exist, but I envision the day when there is one super-gov planet-wide above the country level…at the planet level.

I still don’t expect it to fully happen for perhaps a hundred or multiple hundreds of years, but as I said steps in that direction have been much quicker than I anticipated so who knows.
