There's no way to notify your population of an action without also notifying your enemies of that action. No argument exists, to my knowledge, that a nation-state can be successful without hiding some information from other nation-states, and therefore from its people, given my first sentence.
It's one reason we elect representatives, in fact.
- jordigh 11y agoHow about the nation state stops having secrets that are making enemies for itself?
- dimino 11y agoConsidering there has never been a time in human history where a nation state has not had any opposition from other nation states, I suspect your suggestion is literally impossible.
- jordigh 11y agoSwitzerland has been mostly without enemies for most of its existence.

- rorykoehler 11y agoI guess what you are saying is that nation states are not a good governing structure for progress, into the future? Who are our enemies? The enemies of my country are not necessarily my personal enemies. In fact I quite like many people who come from 'enemy' territories. There is a disconnect between the reality I experience in my everyday life and the one put forward but my/our government/s.
