As much as I’d like it to happen, there is nothing to be gained politically by the outside of the US disclosure. Let me explain.
Assuming that any other empire has a program, crafts or bodies, they’d look equally guilty of covering it all up. They could do nothing to show off the government’s power to protect people, there’s no political conflict about the UFOs between the main local parties anywhere and disclosing cannot give you a political edge against your opponents. You basically shoot yourself, there’s no gain in doing so. A social pressure on disclosure appeared in the USA but sadly – nowhere else. To be honest – no one cares about the UFOs/UAPs outside of the US. No one else goes through any UFO revolution since 2017. The whole world does not even know that anything is happening in the US! Seriously.
If it’s the USA ally who decides to disclose – they have even more to lose than an adversary – because the USA gets pissed off, such an ally makes the American government look bad and stupid, forces it to disclose in an uncontrollable manner.
For adversaries starting a disclosure – there’s literally nothing to be gained either – no one cares about the UFOs as a society, there’s no pressure, a hardcore stigma remains the same as 20 years ago, it cannot be used against your local, political opponents. Even hurting the USA by such revelation does not give any advantage. Worse – it would actually feel so weird and cringe locally. Everyone outside of the US would be shocked if a serious government started publicly speaking of the UFOs/ETs. I know it sounds crazy to Americans but that’s how it is everywhere outside of the US. A majority of the world is not the USA with a subcommittee in Congress, with hidden programs being revealed, with UFO taskforce, AARO, with Schumer’s amendment, with Grusch testimonies, pilots recording UFOs, Corbell releasing footage, News Nation covering, all those podcasts etc.
However, when the USA starts a disclosure, you can always say – it’s the Americans fault, the American pressure forced us to cover it all up, this is actually not our program but theirs, just like the CIA prisons all around the world and the American military bases. Rubbish but would work in most allied countries. If you’re an adversary, it also seems better to react in a response to disclosure, you do not start troubles before you’re absolutely forced to react, then you simply say – we did not know, we do not actually have our own programs – and it may not be a losing election stance since the societies do not care about the UFOs. They’d simply accept such rubbish – ok, America is the most powerful empire so they knew, it’s normal that our country did not – even if our country is China, Japan, India, Germany, France etc., especially the less powerful countries such as Poland, Spain, Italy, Greece, Austria, whole Scandinavia, whole Africa, Indonesia, even Australia, South American states. A disclosure to damage the USA, to cause chaos – I don’t think China or Russia would gain more than they’d lose locally. It’s rather the American fear because it would damage the USA indeed while local costs for other empires feel underestimated by the USA. It’s not that China or Russia care more about damaging the US rather than keeping a strong hold over their societies. They could even stage a crash and show off – look – we started our program this year and we’ve already got it all, better than USA being incompetent to reverse engineer since WWII! 😀 Disclosing on your own makes no sense, reaction may be beneficial if forced but honestly – it would be best for China and Russia if no disclosure ever happened.
There’s also a problem of ignorance vs heated reactions in different regions.
On one hand, I easily imagine that even if American president comes out, tells the whole world, in many countries it would not even make it to the evening news. Crazy, right? But that’s how it is outside of the US. A local politician speaking of local taxes would appear more important than the most important admission in the human history. It wouldn’t happen like in these Hollywood movies with all the news coverage and people on the streets around the world. Majority of the globe wouldn’t even notice or they’d treat it the same as an interesting tv program on tigers – fun, fascinating, let’s go to sleep, there’s work tomorrow.
On the other hand, everyone in the USA seems to think – rip the band off, American people can take it. Americans can – the whole world is so different though, America is not the world. In reality, at some places it would be terrible. Imagine what would happen in the Middle East, what’s gonna happen in China and in other authoritarian states. Europe is very religious, to shocking extents and people do not care about Vatican officially accepting the aliens reality.
BTW, I am an atheist, I come from an extremely religious country in the EU, I’ve lived in China, Japan and Korea, I’ve travelled EU, stayed for some time in different countries and I visited the USA a couple of years ago for my scientific work. People, countries, cultures are as different from America as it gets.
The main problem remains however – that no one cares outside of the USA. There’s no UFO revolution anywhere so there’s no political reason to disclose anything. Mexico cares in a rather funny way – not organized, superstitious, festival-like. Those mummies in Mexican Congress while Graves tries speaking about the flight safety, scientists embarrassing themselves, that moustache reporter I always forget trying to be the second Knapp again and again, what the hell is that. Canada cares because of a close relationship with the USA but other English speaking countries do not care. UK, Australia – societies do not follow, there’s no UFO revolution there – even with a close relationship to the US. Some podcasters cover a topic from time to time but they’re still watched mostly by an American public or very minor, local groups. If you take a random country in the EU or Japan, Korea, Russia, China – no one has ever heard about Grusch, Fravor, Graves, any UFO hearings, programs, no one has ever seen the tic-tac, no one even knows it exists. Everyone knows Roswell, thinks it’s funny and all and that’s the only thing people know about the UFOs. Seriously.
In the end, as long as I’d love some country to disclose before the USA, I’m tired of this whole process in American Congress, like we all are, I wouldn’t count on that. No political reason, no gain in doing so.
