UMNO's thucydides trap. Devil's advocate series 38.

1. It seems , we have our own many Thucydides Trap.

2. This tew sid ai Deez trap was coined by Harvard professor graham Allison

3. The clash between a. Established power and a rising power inevitably leads to war

4. Although it is used primarily in geo politics, the concept is also applicable for domestic politics

5. For example, PKR (Athens )fears rising rafizi (Sparta), the fear inevitably leads to political war

6. But here, I am more interested in the effect of a Thucydides Trap on UMNO. Let's go!

7. Instead of accepting the presence and therefore presence of healthy competition, UMNO's reaction is predicable

8. It clams up, insists on the formation and a unipolar centre of influence (itself as the hegemon) to deal with others

9. The cincalok eating UMNO idiot is already fearful about the formation of 1 Malay DAP branch.

10. If I were the DAP chief in melaka, I would encourage the formation of a few others

11. Then some UMNO people would jumpa into the river by kg Morton

12. The people in the kg will just watch and not save them telling them, lu siapa? Gila kah?

13. What happened in lahabau state is repeated on national scale by UMNO HQ under the leadership of not so bright wak47.

14. UMNO HQ( Athens) fears the rivalling of other Spartas , that it reacts in the predictable way .

15. Instead of living with and accepting the presence of competing multipolar centres of influence, it clams up and wants to form a unipolar centre of influence.

16. And wow, it moots the idea of a Rumah Bangsa with it as the hegemon

17. Wak47 thinks it's a brilliant idea but others think it's a rumah hantu

18. People at large, who wants multiracial harmony finds the idea very puking.

19. It's just a confederation of right wingers and Malay supremacists.

20. It will attract the toughs and rednecks. It is also attractive to the Oxford idiot.

21. And wak47 looked askance why the idea is lukewarmly accepted .

22. Perhaps the idea came when he's sitting on the toilet bowl
