Global South's Escape

Politics is complicated. Everyone needs to remember that when they form their opinions about what any government does, especially governments in the global South and in the Muslim world. In our part of the world, our governments are painfully aware of the ever present threat that's posed by The United States. US never lets anyone forget that. They have to navigate their, political relationships and diplomatic relationships and so on, their policy decisions with a tremendous amount of tact, with strategy and discretion.

Think of it like planning a prison break, which is something I've done and it's not easy. You're under the watchful eye of the guards, the prison administration, and of course the snitches. So you have to take every step very carefully. You have to move very gradually towards your goal of freedom. That's the situation of most of our countries.

That's the situation of most of our governments. Just like a prison break, if you try to take your freedom and you fail, then you will end up making your situation worse. And your country will be cracked down upon with furious punishment.
