Might is Right

I think the West heeded only the short term measure stated in the paper. It has maintain military superiority, but seems to ignore the differences in civilization that exists between them (West) and "the other" civilizations. It seems the West has never been more so determined than it is now, to force-feed its values to the rest of the world. and this move can only - as it already has in the Arab world -, lead to conflict.

Excellent analysis and well narrated.

.Not without controversy and the divides of civilizations may have changrd by now. Predicions about Russia and Ukraine appear to have been underestimated.

Shallow

Fails to adequately explain the past and predict the future, e.g. russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
