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.
Antes costumava ser que se minha tribo era mais forte do que a dos outros eu estava salvo; se o meu país fosse mais poderoso que o país dos outros, eu estava salvo; minha aliança, como a OTAN, era mais poderosa do que a dos outros, eu estava salvo.
