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.
Ooit gold: is mijn stam machtiger, dan ben ik veilig; is mijn land machtiger, dan ben ik veilig; is mijn alliantie, zoals de NAVO, machtiger, dan ben ik veilig.
