The worst is that many people really want to work with them, but they “prefer” to isolate for some reason or be in position where they “takes all” instead of doing a deal (see Ukraine situation). This and the long story of betraying allies would not end good. Some people simply don’t learn from the past …
I think if you were to ask people all over the world the majority would probably say they don’t want to work - we weren’t born to work, we evolved to wander, hunt, sleep, have fun, etc.
