Welcome to the new world! Is a new day!

The world cannot afford the playground antics of super powers any more. Its time they grow up and make up. Everything they do affect the rest of us indirectly. They may be the two most powerful countries, but they still make up only about a third of the world population together.

They need to grow up and realise that any pettiness that remains is irresponsible.
