The American Election Is About Germany and Turkey

The American election for president is about Germany and Turkey. It is about the political responsibility of a superpower union of states like the US and the irresponsibility of nation-states. If Clinton wins, Germany and Turkey will win and continue to act irresponsibly. Germany’s advanced economy is booming with no unemployment. The election of Clinton means it can go ahead with its global plans securely protected by the US. It will invest its excess capital not in Europe but in economic opportunities around the globe. The states of the world will go on as usual using to their advantage what worldwide unity exists because of US financial and military  actions globally. But Clinton will support not only good states like Germany but also bad states like Turkey. Their state sovereignty allows them to act politically just as if they had no need to be backed up globally by Clinton and American power. The dictator in Turkey was elected democratically and he is now consolidating his power by imprisoning and firing thousands of Turks who have done nothing more than use their democratic freedom to criticize his government. Turkey is an American ally and Clinton will continue the alliance. She will support all good states and most bad ones. She alone will take full political responsibility making difficult choices for world unity because without it all of our states worldwide will become poorer and dangerously less peaceful. Clinton as president will perhaps do some positive things for us Americans in small increments but her focus will be global. Trump as president will not be for America first and the world second because the hard truth is that the global investments and enterprises of the American rich and the world’s rich are absolutely vital for world unity and an American president must support them to aid world unity.

   We propose that Germany apply to the American Congress and become a US state. Then its citizens will vote for an American president and become politically responsible because they will be voting like we Americans not only for national unity but for global unity. Turkey should become a US state too. The American Constitution states that the Federal Government must assure a republican form of government in each state of the union. It has the legal authority and power to force states in our union to act democratically even if a dictator like Turkey’s present dictator refuses to act democratically.

  But really why should any nation-state in the world act responsibly? That’s the primary job of all American presidents. We Americans have no choice but to act responsibly and to choose a global president. But at least we are not acting selfishly and irresponsibly like citizens in nation-states. There is even a certain unselfish grandeur in we Americans choosing with passion a world leader who will not be able because of nation-state irresponsibility to primarily lead us.
