America Is The Number One Superpower Today

The Political Awakening That Is Happening Worldwide Is A Major Challenge For America, Because It Means That The World Is Much More Restless. It's Stirring.

Once The Eastern Bloc Collapsed, What I Call 'historical Spontaneity' Prevailed And The Countries That Were Subject To Soviet Control Naturally Gravitated To The West. That's Where They Sought Their Security; I Don't Think There Was A Way To Avoid That. If We Tried To Exclude Them, We Would Have Today Not One Europe, We Would Have Three Europes: One In The West, One In The Middle And One In The East, And The Middle Would Be Insecure And A Tempting Target. The Insecurity Felt [today] By Eastern Europe Would Be Replicated On A Much Larger And More Consequential Scale.

It Will Become Possible To Exert A Practically Permanent Watch On Each Citizen Of The World.
