“Should a citizen flee from a First World country and seek asylum in a foreign country, the First World countries have, increasingly, been dictating to other countries whether or not their offers of asylum will be acceptable. Just fifty years ago, this sort of behaviour was almost unheard of. Yet today, we have become accustomed to accepting that ‘the big guys can bully the little guys if they wish.’ Whilst bullying by the most powerful nations has existed for millennia, the world has never before seen the sophisticated minutiae of dominance that we are now witnessing, universally.”
