One main reason for keeping the pressure in the system is that whichever global superpower exploits their population the most effectively has the upper hand in most fronts. If there wasn't a competition for world dominance then we could all relax a bit more. Til then we are forced into vigilance.

This sounds like something I would hear in Russia. Those who have at least fraction of functioning brain will ask question "If every citizen will be grinded in name of superpower then what everyone will get? 2 by 2 in the nearest forest and a wooden cross."

When state acquires its own will that contradists of majoroty of own citizen, it is not a state. Maybe it is Prutin's mafia, maybe it is China's puppet, but not a state.
