Are there any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they and how do they relate? Does this novel shed any light on how cu

There are many current situations that relate to the novel. The novel is in a sense a future world of ours today. In the book they talk about nations turning against one another and disobeying the rules of treaties they have created. There is the U.F. which is basically the modern day U.N. Many of these situations have been taken to the next level, for example birth control all the countries in the U.F. are only allowed to have one child, which is almost the whole world. This novel does shed some light on how these problems can be solved. Of course there is always the solution everybody work together to make a better world, but of course that will never happen, certain people are just evil in nature in my opinion. In the book they hide all the problems they have, the government conceals the issues that are going on around the world. For example in the book there is the third invasion that is supposedly coming to them so they have to prepare. But later on Ender finds out that there is no third invasion the U.F has already sent ships to destroy the buggers. In the book Ender’s brother, Peter and his sister Valentine expose the Warsaw Pact and claim that they are not following the rules that they had originally set up. The government obviously knows this and they are just sitting on the sidelines doing nothing and letting the world figure out everything for itself. This in my opinion is what I would do if I were in power. If the world knew about everything then they would panic with all the world problems, simply sitting on the sidelines denying everything the people say is playing it safe. But when they eventually find out the whole truth then they obviously turn against the government.
