Key take aways 1. On October 16, 1962, President John F. Kennedy was shown photographs of Soviet nuclear missile installations under construction in Cuba. The installation of medium-range missiles just 90 miles off the coast of Florida would put the Eastern United States at risk of a nuclear attack that could come on very short notice. President Kennedy called together a group of his closest advisers to discuss how the United States should respond to the specter of Soviet missiles in Cuba: should there be invasion, air strikes, a blockade,…

Ἀποσπάσματα ἀπό τούς λόγους τοῦ π. Συμεών Οἱ πατέρες τῆς Ἐκκλησίας δέν μπερδεύτηκαν, δέν ἔμπλεξαν, ὅπως συνήθως παθαίνουμε ἐμεῖς σήμερα, μέσα στό δίλημμα: νά εἶναι συντηρητικοί ἤ νά εἶναι φιλελεύθεροι; Δέν ὑπάρχει τέτοιο πράγμα στούς πατέρες.

Εξαιρετική ανάλυση από τον ερίτιμο καθηγητή Καρακωστάνογλου. Αυτό που έχουμε να σχολιάσουμε ως geopoliticsamongstates.gr, είναι τί, ενδεχομένως, συνδέει τους συγκεκριμένους περιφερειακούς (Μ. Ανατολή και Ευρασία : Ρωσία & Ουκρανία) πολέμους. Τί είναι αυτό που συσπειρώνει κράτη από τη μία μεριά και τί από την αντίθετη; τί παραμένει άλυτο ως πολιτικό πρόβλημα που απομένει ο πόλεμος για να επιλυθεί; Πρέπει να θυμηθούμε τον Ηράκλειτο; «Πόλεμος πάντων μὲν πατήρ ἐστι, πάντων δὲ βασιλεύς, καὶ τοὺς μὲν θεοὺς ἔδειξε τοὺς δὲ ἀνθρώπους, τοὺς μὲν δούλους ἐποίησε τοὺς δὲ ἐλευθέρους», Ηράκλειτος, Περί φύσεως.

Can Israel turn tactical successes into strategic gains? Political scientist Stephen Walt says US unconditional support for Israel does not help its long-term future.
