Strategy&Future

A significant document on the strategic and conceptual games played regarding the conflict between the United States and China is the report produced in September 2015 by the RAND Corporation, entitled The U.S. – China Military Scorecard. Forces, Geography and the Evolving Balance of Power 1996–2017. This report summarises two possible scenarios for the military confrontation between the United States and China on the Western Pacific: one concerns Taiwan, 160 km from the coast of China, the second one of the Spratly Islands – Thitu, lying in the South China Sea, 940 km from China’s Hainan Island.

Last week there were reports that the row between Ankara and Athens had evolved into a more aggressive stage with the danger of direct military confrontation.

If before there were mere diplomatic and political disputes over many issues, harming relations between these two neighboring countries, the escalation ladder is now becoming highly unpredictable.

Bardzo możliwe, że będą to czasy burzliwe. A na pewno inne niż ostatnie 30 lat.

Rousseau’s philosophy is mainly interpreted in two ways: firstly (and most commonly) through the concept of Romanticism, merging his ideas with his extraordinary personality and seeing his philosophy as a common heritage of the European civilisation. Another approach is known as the “Jacobin” or “Bolshevik” approach, which is deeply aggressive and radical. These two movements considered Rousseau’s philosophy as an ideological forerunner.

Sewan to położone na wysokości 2000 metrów nad poziomem morza armeńskie „morze”, a tak naprawdę zajmujące pięć procent powierzchni kraju górskie jezioro, które rekompensuje Armenii brak dostępu do prawdziwego morza.
