A Trump or May World

A Trump or May World
It would appear that Trump and May are intent on changing international relations. A policy of non-intervention where our own country is no under an existential threat. As ever it is in all in the small print.
If we were indeed to have a global anarchistic policy, that is of national autonomy, then it is an ethical statement with consequences. Substantial human rights relate only to and within nations that are altruistically democratic.
We may in reality divide the world into spheres of influence, with 'Western' and NATO countries in a sphere or commonwealth of altruistic democracy. But President Trump is as muddled as may be expected and employing anarchistic tactics generally. Mrs May is closer to what the West requires, for mutual benefit, and preservation of suitable 'rights' - although the form of these rights and duties are open to revision. But any member country that fails to respect its citizens must be accountable to the whole 'Commonwealth',
The critical matter, is that where Anarchistic autonomy defines international relations, we do actually leave internal affairs to each and every country. The citizens of each such country having the rights and duties, or merely duties, decided internally. That will have the virtually inevitable result that many people will be persecuted for their non-conformist beliefs, and must accept this or conform.
