History has repeatedly proved that the use of force to conquer will fail, the only way to succeed is to apply rule of law. Democratic freedom is the coming wave in the world, a tide that nuclear weapons, submarines and missiles will be incapable of stopping. This global tide will reward those who go with its flow, but those who resist will be doomed. China and Russia are two powerful nations that must stop their militaristic actions and follow the road to democracy, constitutionalism, internationalism and natural law.
