They don't have minds that telescope. They look in. They pretend, they behave, as if they believed that every country was an island that existed quite happily, independently of all the others on its own little planet in its own little solar system.
No tienen mentes telescópicas. Miran hacia adentro. Fingen, se comportan, como si creyeran que cada país es una isla que existe muy feliz, independiente de todos los otros en su propio y pequeño planeta en su propio y pequeño sistema solar.
