We had few days of remembrance this weekend. Over 15 millions people died in WW1 for no discernible reason or gain to anyone. Our President tried to draw a distinction between patriotism (good thing) and nationalism (bad thing) but I cannot say that I am convinced. As far as I am concerned they are two sides of the same coin neither of which are helpful. I do find it quite hypocritical for these 70 leaders to get together in memory of the end of the war when a lot of them stand for exactly the things that caused the war in the first place. The world spends 2 Trillion $ a year on "defense" which is 10 times more than is spent on development throughout the world. An interesting objective for the UN Sustainable goals would be to reverse that proportion.
