Every one of them have been genuinely shocked, and, like many here in the U.S., simply cannot believe it. The potential ramifications - for America and the world -- are only just beginning to set in. I recently exchanged views with a friend in New Zealand, whose response was so refreshingly (and brutally) honest and insightful that I wanted to share them. What follows are his thoughts, which...

Fortunately, this did not occur in actual combat, but was simulated as part of a war game pitting a carrier task force including numerous antisubmarine escorts against HSMS Gotland, a small Swedish diesel-powered submarine displacing 1,600 tons. Yet despite making multiple attacks runs on the Reagan... Читать дальше...

Since January 2016, when the implementation went into effect, the lifting of sanctions has not benefitted Iran's economy as expected.

Years before the UN sanctions that prompted Iran and the Security Council to finalize the nuclear deal, there were substantial primary sanctions imposed by the United States.

Let Manila take responsibility for its own future.

Ever since Douglas MacArthur returned to the island of Leyte on October 20, 1944, the Philippines has been considered a loyal U.S. ally. In 1947, both countries signed an agreement that granted the United States the right to use military bases in the Philippines. Even after rising anti-American sentiment in the 1980s led to the U.S. military withdrawing from Clark Air Base and the Subic Bay naval base in 1992... Читать дальше...

Rawls's theory of justice as fairness is the most well-balanced in acounting for social justice and security culture needs.
