Foreword

On January 17, 1961, in his farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned against the establishment of a “Military-industrial complex”. He said “We must guard against the acquisition of influence by this complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist”.

Foreword

The recent breakdown of the ceasefire in Donbass, and escalation in fighting along the line of control, has been followed by what has become a somewhat traditional war of words between Moscow and Kiev, with each side blaming the other.

Les tensions entretenues par les États-Unis et l'Otan en Ukraine, en soutien du bellicisme de Kiev et du but déclaré de cette dernière de remettre en cause l'autonomie des provinces séparatistes de Donetsk et Lougansk, dans la tentative d'unifier un pays historiquement divisé entre deux pôles d'influence, l'Europe et la Russie, sont susceptibles de provoquer une escalade aux incertitudes multiples.

UKRAINE, CHRONIQUE D'UN CONFLIT

I movimenti delle truppe russe, effettuati in modo decisamente palese (senza peraltro avere le dimensioni commisurate a una grande operazione militare) hanno lo scopo di essere notati e non sono certamente indicativi di preparativi per un attacco segreto. Tali movimenti “evidenti” di truppe sembrano essere principalmente di natura coercitiva e dimostrativa.

L'affront européen pour la gifle diplomatique infligée à Mme von der Leyen est un bluff protocolaire sans fondement. Erdogan a appliqué avec froideur la règle bien connue du: « Ubi major, minor cessat ». Selon les règles, il y a un seul représentant officiel de l'Union, le Président du Conseil Européen, ayant rang de Chef d’État et, comme tel, du droit de préséance dans les relations extérieures. En tant que Cheffe de l'exécutif, Mme von der Leyen a eu le traitement conforme au protocole. Où est il le problème?

Foreword

Biden himself agreed with a television news personality that Russian President Vladimir Putin was a “killer”, while Biden’s Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, mismanaged the first days of important talks with his Chinese counterpart by announcing economic sanctions against two dozen Chinese officials.
