"humanity" exists between human individuals, not nations. the problem here is not the nations that do act in their self-interest, the problem is the nations NOT acting in their apparent self interest. this is how large populations become victims to geopolitics. it is in korea, japan and europe that long-term geopolitical objectives, serving a national self-interest, are taboo, "for historical reasons". the outcome of decades of this taboo is that their leadership and their populations are now much less aligned in their self-interest than those of other nations.
