    Why would countries just ignore global authoritarian threats

      authoritarian threats

      This is a meaningless term used in this way. Every state is authoritarian, by definition. The only “state” that isn’t authoritarian is anarchy, and that’s only not an authoritarian state because it’s not a state. Use more accurate terms if you want to make a point.

      Countries are ignoring global authoritarian threats, by ignoring themselves, but that’s probably not the point you were trying to make.

      To be global authoritarian you have to be the wealthiest and most powerful. And currently there is only one government and its army that takes this title.

        I guess being able to trigger global nuclear war is not global enough threat for you?
