In Vedic terms , every foreign policy decision by any government worldwide  is very easily measured .
The Vedas give very clear indications as to what are the correct judgements based on morals ethics and respect for life and limb . The intelligentsia who as best situated to make such  judgements based on multiples of assesement resources , will take into account  variable circumstances . Ultimately, the protection of the innocent is at the forefront of decisions made , clearly, women and children are specifically mentioned in the rules of warfare in the Dhanu Veda .A resetting of injustices that have wrongly affected peoples livelihood and their own cultural and traditional expressions are important and those who intelligently understand ethical geopolitical affairs should be directing international laws along with clear explanations of the reasoning behind decisions .
I am afraid that in today’s world, the intelligentsia are silenced or suppressed, and the puppet governments of the global conglomerates who easily manipulate the masses have usurped power by posing as democracies.
