It used to be the case that if my tribe was more powerful than their tribe, I was safe; if my country was more powerful than their country, I was safe; my alliance, like NATO, was more powerful than their alliance, I was safe.
Sucedía que si mi tribu era más poderosa que otros, yo estaba a salvo; si mi país era más poderoso que otros, yo estaba seguro; si mi alianza, como la OTAN, era más poderosa que otra alianza, yo estaba a salvo.
