The Qatar World Cup kicked off with lots of controversy. This succor event is the first taking place in winter time and simultaneously in the middle East. Considering its weather, it is commonly understood that this succor festival is almost beyond the question.
However, oil money made the country the host of this big party. So many eyes from around the world are concentrated on it now. Most global issues faded out- the war between Ukraine and Russia, climate changes, increasing energy crisis, spread of Corvid variants ans so forth. I wonder what makes people distract their minds from these critical things. Is winning the game more important than war or starvation? It seems that many people, including me, forgot the Eteawon tragedy in the fever of the succor world cup. People in red shirts rolled out into the streets and gathered in the square to cheer up our national team as if nothing happened no more than one month ago. According to news, many Russia’s missiles destroyed Ukraine cities killing so many innocent people.
Meanwhile, North Korea fired their new ICBMs(?) in succession into the East Sea while threatening the US and South Korea. What about China? Is China still safe and peaceful? No, not at all. Even after completing crowning of Xi, jinping, China got into great turmoil. Exhausted by a long-time lock-down, many city dwellers started to voice their complaints asking for food and medicine. The problem is Chinese economy is sharply dropping making the world global economy unstable.
Now, Xi, zinping’s leadership is shaking, which is unappreciated in Chinese communist governments. What about EU? many countries are concerned about lack of energy this winter. The increasing prices in energy and food make it more difficult to assist in Ucrane and Russia. The natural gas pipe from Russia was blocked, which in turn came back as a boomerang. How does Putin keep the boat floating without international trades. Russia’s stockpile of conventional weapons showed the bottom long ago. Russia cannot fly their fighters in the sky due to lack of parts. Their solders lost motivation to fight in the war.
How about Korea? our political situations are more than worse. Youn’s Administration is facing crisis from many bad issues. The opposition party also do not read the people’s minds when they are indulged in saving their leader, Yee Jeamyoung. from Deajangdong Development rebate scandal. It is a kind of a zero sum game or chicken game, but the damage will be done Korean people. Politics, it is said, is a skill of compromise. Without it, democratic system could not work properly.
Let’s talk more about succor. in my opinion, succor is the most fair and democratic game ever invented. If the judge is fair, there will be no complaint whatever. But when the judge is impartial making an error at a moment, the game is turnover. Watching our national team do their best, I couldn’t blame them for losing the game. Rather, I am proud of their attitude and high spirit. Their good performance made us forget all kinds of political corruptions for a while.
