Unfortunately, there's some credence within your remark that Humanity needs to move beyond. IMO, that will become possible once the last of the Plundering nations and regimes are neutered. When that point will arrive is clearly the big question. But while waiting, the Global Majority can create an example by rising above the Plundering Past by establishing the Shared Future.

I admire your optimism but don't share it. Human nature and realpolitik being what it is, I'd argue that once the old bully has been dealt with, a new one or gang will arise. Even if "they" start off meaning well, power corrupts. But let's hope you are right and I am being too cynical.
I know well the ease of being cynical, but IMO it serves no useful purpose, while being optimistic does. I suppose Lavrov's outlook did a lot to change my POV. I don't know if you're familiar with the characters from the "Winnie the Pooh" stories, but I see many having the outlook of Eeyore, who was deeply cynical about most everything but do nothing to try and alter the situation.
