The Failure of Zero-Sum Game Strategies
The UNGA is at the center of a battle between those nations choosing a "win-win" approach to addressing crises, versus those nations -- led by the U.S., the UK and Europe -- which insist that international relations are an example of a "zero-sum game", which pursues an "I win-you lose" format. This was expressed by President Trump when he told the General Assembly that the U.S. takeover of Venezuela shows that "to the winner go the spoils."
The win-win view will be featured on today's International Peace Coalition (IPC) Zoom call. Speakers will include Dr. Seyed Marandi of Iran, Donald Ramotar, former President of Guyana, and American podcaster Garland Nixon. Link to IPC call:
