Strategic advice : The alliance with a dictator doesn’t change the nature of the dictator

Many times in history we have seen docile systems settle with harsh ones in order to achieve in between goals which couldn’t be neither final nor determinative for the future and each time the harsh ones achieved their own inhumane goals, they continued with the impingement of any agreement for the simplest reason that they cannot resist to their nature.

The problem is that even now mistakes are being made which are not corrected without great cost for Humanity. Because the alliance with a dictator doesn’t change the nature of the dictator, even if the goal of the alliance has been achieved. In other words it must be examined how much this compromise wears out democracy and if it can degenerate it.

So it is important not only for a balance to be found with regards to the zones of influence even in regions with intense problems and hostilities. The issue is how much these acts have influence on the homeland of democracies.

In other words there must be red lines on a strategic level which ensure a democratic impenetrable shield, otherwise there is a great risk for the people. This mental scheme is not only useful for the future but necessary for Europe and the New World.
