The undaunted revelations published at the WikiLeaks website where U.S. diplomatic cables were laid open to the eyes of a shocked world had greatly stirred the stage of diplomacy between countries having diplomatic relation with the United States, or in-between countries where the U.S. has steered diplomacy as its instrument to a worldwide influence over world peace issues.
The very daunting venture of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is now the seed of possible worldwide chaos that would likely arise from its disclosures of secret U.S. sites having national security implications on the U.S. This would also give the opportunity for U.S. adversaries to take action to advance their stern plan of terroristic atrocities of getting rid off Washington’s influence over those nations having indifference with U.S. foreign policies. They can even launch terroristic advances covertly and blame it to the U.S. or whatever scheme that they could devise just to discredit the U.S. diplomatic efforts in policing the world.
On the other hand, this unfortunate event has opened the “Pandora box” that the U.S. has been keeping, which of course revealed its provident intention of helping out nations to take charge their political and economic endeavors with the U.S. offering help and assistance while on the sidelines. I believe that this event would clearly reveal what the U.S. government has been doing its very best to protect peace and stability in every region of the world and to dispel doubts and opened the pages of truth of its worldwide diplomatic stage as against those who are trying to discredit its own intention.
However, this would not mean to subscribe to the illegal pretensions that WikiLeaks has been intending to spoil. As I look at the way things are given out from its vintage, WikiLeaks can be viewed as an instrument of coercion, a sign of end-time conflicts as soothsayers would predict, or parting chapter of worldwide peace after the Cold-War between superpowers.
The emerging petulance that the rising nuclear-armed nations like Iran in the Middle East and North Korea in Asia would only set a new pace of world order that the United States is trying to appease just to maintain balance of power among nations which the United Nations could hardly accomplish without its presence.
The move also of China in trying to improve its influence over the U.N. Security Council can be viewed as a great opportunity to take a higher plane of advancing its own economic power. However, although during the Cold-War, the country was touted as a sleeping giant. Democratic countries like the U.S. would not just let a communist giant making fun of diplomacy while giving the cudgel of tolerance to its small but recalcitrant ally, the North Korea.
I believe that China is just making some critical diplomatic moves that would put into the center stage the rule of its Communistic state and tradition in balancing the configurative value of its economy to the whole part of the world economy. Nevertheless, as former Australian Prime Minister Rudd suggested, the U.S. would have to prepare to use force in case China’s intention will go out of its proportionate share in world power.
I do perceive the same area of strategic balance, but what concerns everyone is the apparent paranoia among the present Chinese leaders in dealing with Taiwan and Tibet, which when handled the harsh way would likely trigger a world conflict by the time that China is on the helm of world power sharing with the United States. I say that China could not be trusted yet with police works in the world stage. It has to undertake several stages of “world police training”, if I may say, so that it could become a very effective world authority who can wield its power not only for its own welfare but also to nations depending on him as a "big brother". It has to learn that the world is a democratic stage that allows every nation a place of peace and prosperity, and the willingness to share the bounty of its own harvest.
Now, WikiLeaks have provided a new avenue of reflections for nations having diplomatic ties with the United States. I’m not even thankful for what WikiLeaks have done nor happy about what it has accomplished because soon the consequence of its malevolent action would likely put the whole world economy into a decrepit shamble.
Meantime, it is hoped however that the United Nations, where the community of nations relies on the maintenance of world peace and prosperity, together with the United States and other democratic countries, would have to undertake extra precaution in dealing with China and its allies. It would be a great mistake to take lightly the abounding economic implications that China can entreat every time that North Korea attacks South Korea or any Asian nation, for that matter, and when this aggrieved nation will come to the UN to air its grievance, China would always be there to defend its ally.
Nevertheless, I have this gut feeling that the U.S. diplomatic acumen assures the world of peace and prosperity among nations as it is revealed to the leaked documents. Adversely, U.S. absence would cause so much trouble when even a small nation with a destructive nuclear arm will surely make all subject to fears and threats.
Nobody is safe. Nobody is secure when the U.S. and its allied nations fail to police the world, and the U.N. will just be there as a rubber stamp of a reigning evil world. I hope that it would not come to that point, neither others would allow it too.
