"If you visit USA and wish to carry back a souvenir to your nation, you'd either have to carry back a missile or a satellite."

The above quote speaks volumes of a nation, its economy and hence its policies. This will form the core of today's blogpost. I had originally intended the post in the immediate aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Time did not permit but for a good reason - a few more events followed globally which aids the content of this blogpost; namely - Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah's death, Barack Obama's R-Day visit to India and the continued fall of oil prices globally. In the past few months, global leaders as a collective unit have been asked a few deep questions by recent events. Some of them aced those questions while most of them succumbed to political correctness and fallacies of human nature - to cling on to a desired object. While there are many nations and its many leaders, the ones which move global policy are the ones which matter the most and hence this blogpost.
