With the West’s diminished ability to exert control over the rest of the world and extract material gains, the process of internal consolidation within the region is accelerating
With the West’s diminished ability to exert control over the rest of the world and extract material gains, the process of internal consolidation within the region is accelerating. This implies that national political structures are no longer expected to be capable of creatively addressing public concerns, writes Valdai...
The debate over the post-war arrangements in Gaza is unlikely to put an end to the controversy about a possible U.S. presence “on the ground.”
Israel’s Operation Arnon to free a group of hostages from the Gaza Strip has brought back into focus just how deeply the U.S. military is involved in the eight-month-long escalation of the conflict. The bloody infiltration into the Nuseirat refugee camp—where four Israelis who have now returned home were held—was partly organized due to direct intelligence...
... distances in comparison to Europe have historically rendered them impractical. In other words, even in Asia, the presence of an ally does not guarantee that they will be able to provide assistance in time due to the distance factor.

For 80 years, the Atom bomb has prevented a repeat of the horrors of the 1940s – Russia needs to leverage it again to stop American aggression
Nuclear deterrence is not a myth. It kept the world safe during the Cold War. Deterrence is a psychological concept. You have to convince a nuclear-armed adversary that it will not achieve its objectives by attacking you, and that if it goes to war its own annihilation is assured. The mutual nuclear deterrence between the USSR and the US during their confrontation...

Remembering WW2 in Asia
One of the items of Vladimir Putin agenda in Harbin was to lay flowers at the memorial to some twelve thousand of Soviet soldiers and officers who died during WW2 liberating Manchuria from the Japanese occupation. The Russian leader specifically noted the careful attitude of the Chinese authorities towards the memory of joint pages of military glory and ...
... China, India, Iran and others insist on doing business without outside interference, not to speak of foreign diktat. They don’t want to dominate Eurasia: they live there, it is their home – unlike the ever-restless

China attempts to delay, to the greatest extent possible, the process of direct conflict with the United States and its allies. This conflict is of a strategic nature, and is linked to simple competition for access to global resources and markets.
