Game over

I believe China is nearing its end. Not just China, but North Korea and Russia as well. I believe that within 15 years—before I turn 50—the national destiny of these three countries will come to an end. The reason is simple: their present and past form the foundation of my judgment.

Who holds the fate of a nation? No matter how many citizens there are, or how hard they work, it is the tiny minority that profits without labor who ultimately cause the downfall. In the human body, the most important organ is the brain. If the heart, stomach, or intestines have issues, medicine or surgery can help—but if the brain goes mad, nothing else in the body can stop it. The leadership of these three nations has rotted to the core. Therefore, the fate that awaits them is always the same. When a nation meets its end, it's simply arriving at its inevitable conclusion.

They spend resources on propaganda agents, yet even those agents live in bleak conditions. Do you think the young people working for North Korean operations or the Chinese Communist Party earn much? Their own uncertain futures keep them from being loyal. In fact, the limited freedom they're given only opens their eyes to new possibilities, eventually leading them to betray the Party. It’s a logical and wise decision. The seemingly comfortable boat provided by the CCP is already leaking from multiple holes. But instead of raising engineers to fix those holes, they focus on hiding the very existence of them—a textbook strategy of failed states. They are more aware of their own collapse than anyone else.

Interestingly, those furthest removed from the system are often the ones making the most noise about it. It's like someone buying stocks of a company that insiders themselves won't touch. No executives, no board members, no employees are buying back shares—what kind of future can that company have? They don’t invest because there is no future. And yet, some people foolishly insist otherwise, perhaps out of desperation. They want to escape by creating new victims to replace themselves. We call such systems Ponzi schemes, and those who run them are scammers.

To possess a depraved nature isn't about being labeled as such—it's about the life they’ve lived. The results speak for themselves. A noble life leaves behind a trail of sacrifice, love, and devotion. But what about the depraved? Squeeze and squeeze and still nothing of worth remains. No legacy that shines forever. That is why I say their lives are depraved.

I wish the world were eternal. I want to witness, with my own eyes, how the absolute rulers of those nations will be judged and what end they will meet in the face of eternity. Of course, perhaps the world is not eternal, and nothing lasts forever. But does that really matter? If no one knows for sure, then perhaps we can still have hope. And with that hope, I wish for their downfall—not out of spite, but as a rightful conclusion to the price of the blood they’ve spilled. It is a comfort to the dead who were sacrificed, and a rightful intention for those still suffering. To call evil what it is and not shy away from it—that is what it means to be good.

I want to walk a righteous path, but I know the fight will be long. In the drama Itaewon Class, there’s a smart student who is bullied. Though the main character Park Saeroyi steps in to defend him, the student had already been fighting in his own way—with his intelligence and his pursuit of success. Fighting doesn’t always mean going up to the rooftop and throwing punches. That’s a child’s battle. A real war needs strategists, soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and commanding officers. Charging into battle without a plan is suicide. If we want to win, we need more than the kind of emotional fight we see in TV dramas—we need a real strategy.

What do we need to win a war? Supplies, soldiers, weapons, and a solid foundation. Soldiers alone can’t win. You need generals to command and elders who understand the battlefield. We don’t live in a world of visible wars. We are in invisible wars—threatened by invisible guns and knives. Sometimes we win or lose without ever seeing the enemy. The greatest victory in war is the one won without shedding blood—breaking the enemy’s spirit. If the fortress collapses from within, there is no greater triumph. Today’s wars are fought in the minds of the people. That’s why we see absurd propaganda and fanatical followers. It’s a sign of how fierce the battle really is.

What matters most is that the victory I seek is not the one they desire. They may want stacks of cash from war, but I want the erasure of those who should be forgotten in human history. And I want to be part of that process. Joining a war means risking your life. You cannot step onto the battlefield without putting your life on the line. That’s why a battle of conviction is one where everything is at stake—it’s the one that brings the greatest gain or loss. My victory is the victory of those I believe in. And I like that. I believe that this path is right—even in the eternal scope of things. A system collapses when the weight-bearing support snaps. I will break the first leg of that table they lean on. And once that leg falls, can they truly keep their regime standing? The world will be watching.
