... conventional weapons, intermediate-range forward-deployed land- and sea-based weapons, as well as command-control systems, especially in space. All U.S. strategic weapons and a significant portion of intermediate-range systems can be retargeted from China to Russia and vice versa. At the same time, the “China factor” is already being leveraged—and will continue to be—to justify a significant expansion of the U.S. nuclear arsenal and the abandonment of parity with Russia. Of course, not all these initiatives ...
... of comparable strength The very concept of a “security umbrella” is absurd when it comes to a physical threat from an enemy of comparable strength. Since we are far from thinking that a threat to Europe could come from North African countries, China, or the Middle East, the only such enemy is Russia. However, it is linked to the United States by a relationship of strategic deterrence, based on the direct and immediate threat of causing unacceptable damage to each other’s territory and population. Any state, especially a strong and powerful ...
... source of clean energy. Licensing reactor designs can be an important issue. Developing countries generally lack the necessary expertise to do this, so they have to rely on licensing from nations such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Russia and China. One of the key problems faced by countries of the Global South when planning NPP construction is a lack of funding due to limited state budgets or private resources.

It offers a foundation for building a relatively equitable regional order in the long term. The role of competition However, the realities ...
... eventually turned into their spoiler. Elshad Mirbashir oglu: The Time is Ripe for A New World Order: Multipolarity Unlike the bipolar confrontation of the 20th century, the new one is more complex. At the forefront there is the confrontation between Russia and the collective West. But in the background there is the gradually increasing rivalry between China and the United States. In the new edition of the Cold War, there’s no clash of military alliances yet. However, the rivalry of the great powers slows down cooperation or makes it impossible even in limited, but at the same time inclusive formats ...
... joined the discussion. The debate was moderated by Denis Degterev and Igor Istomin, Acting Head of the Department of Applied Analysis of International Problems at MGIMO University.

... third world war. After all, there are plenty of flashpoints at the moment: Ukraine, the Middle East, Taiwan/China. Beyond all the propaganda on both sides, we should not let ourselves to be divided. On the contrary, we should get on an airplane, fly to China and Russia, make friends there and decide for ourselves about the purported threat to our way of life. Economic sanctions hurt people, us, first and foremost, since companies always find a way to circumvent them and continue making a profit. Companies that ...
... deal with an external force – a state or a union of states, whose goal is to destroy their political systems or physically absorb them. There can be no unifying role for one leader here either. Due to its size, Greater Eurasia includes such states as Russia, India and China, and none of them will ever be able to agree on who else will play the role of regional leader. Even at the sub-regional level in Eurasia, we see that the countries of its geographic core – Central Asia – are faced with the problem of competition ...
