... military policy. If she sticks to her guns, à la de Gaulle, we could then be witnessing an important shift in the distribution of power in the world and, perhaps paradoxically, an improvement of relations between the EU on the one hand, and Russia and China on the other, notwithstanding NATO cheerleaders like Poland and the Baltic statelets.

But in 2021, the return of the Taliban to Kabul, following the sudden fall of the republican government of Ashraf Ghani, will have very different consequences. First of all, it leads to the further strengthening of China, to better conditions for Russia and a weakening of the West in its fierce competition with Moscow and Beijing. What the Taliban are doing or can do inside the country is not a reason for the general denial of their right to exist. The international ...
China’s maritime policy is in no open competition with that of the United States—on the contrary, it intends to cooperate with the U.S. on the sea to counter threats to water security and trade Far from surprising is the fact that China seeks a ...
... added that “the odds against such a relative decline are long, however, in part because the United States is the country in the best position to take advantage of globalization.” On the other hand, few experts entertained any serious thought that China could become a regional or global power.
