1. I recently presented at the “Stop the Wars – Strengthen International Law” conference, discussing the transition from international law to the more ambiguous concept of a “rules-based international order”. The “rules-based international order” is presented as international law plus humanitarian law, while ignoring that this introduced contradictory principles. So who decides which rules apply in terms of, for example, territorial integrity versus self-determination? While international law is based on the principle of sovereign equality, the “rules-based international order” is based on sovereign inequality. The “rules-based international order” does not contain…

Key take aways 1. The Cyprus issue is not on the agenda although it is an issue of violation of international law by a NATO member state for over 50 years now. 2. There was and there is no full scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine. It’s only a limited invasion of 150.000 troops IOT achieve political aims. That’s why the operations are conducted only in Donbas. 3. The Foreign Affairs Council on 24 February will be followed by the EU-Israel Association Council.

Key take aways Πλήρης επιβεβαίωση των επιλογών των υπευθύνων της ιστοσελίδας, να αναδείξουν την πολιτική και στρατηγική σκέψη του καθηγητή John Mearsheimer. Προφανώς, πλήρης επιβεβαίωση και για τον ίδιο. Εκτιμούμε ότι, ούτε ο ίδιος θα πίστευε ποτέ ότι, ο νέος πρόεδρος των ΗΠΑ και η ομάδα του, θα ενεργούσε στις Διεθνείς Σχέσεις των ΗΠΑ ως οι καλύτεροι «μαθητές» του. Πλέον το CNN παρουσιάζει τον καθηγητή John Mearsheimer, ως τον πιο έγκυρο Διεθνολόγο και τη θεωρία του (offensive realism), ως την πλέον ενδεδειγμένη για να «διαβάζεις» το Διεθνές (Διακρατικό) Σύστημα.
