Decision Making in a Nuclear Middle East analyzes the implications of a nuclear Iran by applying lessons from the Cold War. It takes a hard look at the assumed stability of the Cold War, the judgment of Soviet and American leaders, technology glitches, incidents and events that brought the superpowers closer to a nuclear exchange than they ever planned or expected.

In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with US and Russia relations approaching a breaking point, this book provides a key to understanding how we got here. Specifically, Stephen P. Friot asks, how do Russians and Americans think about each other, and why do they see the world so differently? The answers, Friot suggests, lie in the historical events surrounding the Cold War and their divergent influence on politics and popular consciousness.

Arguing that North Korea is little more than a carefully constructed Chinese puppet state, the author looks into the heart of this "rogue nation" and finds the Chinese behind much of the terrorism and nuclear weapons manufacturing on the Korean peninsula.

American soldiers serve willingly. They risk their lives so the rest of us can be safe. The one small thing they ask is that they not be sent into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary.

Den brutalen Überfall Russlands auf die Ukraine konnte die NATO trotz ihrer Bemühungen nicht verhindern: Die Folgen des Krieges werden Europa und die Welt noch jahrelang erschüttern. Nicht nur Russland, sondern auch sein enger Partner China stellt den Westen in Zukunft vor enorme strategische Herausforderungen – und die NATO darf ihre Fehler nicht wiederholen. Die Strategieexpertin Dr. Stefanie Babst gewährt Einblicke in das Innere des transatlantischen Bündnisses.

Democracy and capitalism can be painful, and you don't always like the outcomes. Some days, you win, but most days you lose. Under a dictatorship, life can be good for a time, but your ancestors will eventually starve and end up on a raft headed for a nearby capitalistic country. Marxism makes a lot of sense theoretically, but in practice, every time it has been tried it has failed. This can take a couple of decades, and the success of communism requires a parasitic relationship with a capitalistic system as it has to sell into this mixed market economy to meet the monetary needs of the ...

Putins Krieg, Rückzug aus Afghanistan, Corona, Flüchtlingskrise 2015, Klimawandel: Erst der Schaden, dann das Handeln. Deutschland und Europa haben sich über viele Jahre in den Zustand der Hilflosigkeit manövriert gegenüber den großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Wir müssen diese bittere Lehre verinnerlichen und Konsequenzen ziehen. Deutschland, Europa und der Westen brauchen eine grundlegend neue Außenpolitik mit einem neuen Realismus gegenüber den Gefährdern von Frieden und Freiheit.

Eindrücklich wie nie zuvor klärt Chomsky über die existentiellen Bedrohungen durch Atomwaffen und den Klimawandel auf. Er stellt diese Bedrohungen in den Kontext einer nie dagewesenen globalen Macht der Konzerne, die mittlerweile die führende Rolle bei der Gestaltung unserer Zukunft übernommen haben. Noam Chomsky zeigt, dass sich globale Volksbewegungen mobilisieren müssen, um die Regierungen zu zwingen, sich der beispiellosen Herausforderung für das Überleben unserer Zivilisation zu stellen.

Tony Blair's decision to back George W. Bush in his attack on Iraq will go down as a defining moment for Blair - and for Britain. As Ambassador to the UN, Sir Jeremy Greenstock was centre stage in the dramatic months leading up to the Iraq War. After the war he was Special Envoy for Iraq, the UK's highest authority on the ground, and he worked side by side with Paul Bremer, the US administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority, in Baghdad and saw firsthand the impact of the divisive turf wars back in Washington.

Civilization may face no greater enemy than Saddam Hussein, and yet, as Richard Butler makes clear in his gripping and terrifying The Greatest Threat, the major powers allowed Saddam to face them down.

Britain was encouraged to participate in the second Gulf War by the publication of an intelligence report that suggested that Saddam Hussein could attack the UK with weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes. When the WMDs failed to materialise, the original report was questioned, it was suggested in parliament that it had been "sexed up" as a way to scare the UK into war. Ann Taylor (MP) led an investigation to determine if the the public had been misled, and this is what they found.

Non-proliferation is the attempt to prevent the spread of nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons through international treaties and cooperative efforts to control NBC related technologies. The 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) acknowledged five nuclear power states and declared that other nations who joined the treaty would forego development of nuclear weapons. It implied the ultimate goal of all nations to be free of nuclear weapons. To enforce this treaty the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) conducts inspections of a nation’s declared nuclear related facilities...

US and Israeli intelligence detect a nuclear weapons shipment set to depart Pakistan for Saudi Arabia in several days. The nations of Iran and Iraq already possess nuclear weapons. The spread of nuclear weapons creates a greater chance that war could escalate to a level of destruction never before seen, through accidental launch or a regional conflict spiraling out of control. Logic suggests that more widespread possession of nuclear weapons increases the likelihood of their use. For this reason, efforts at non-proliferation by the international community are an important factor in ...

On September 23, 1949, President Harry S. Truman announced that an atomic explosion had occurred in the Soviet Union. Over the next few days, The New York Times and Washington Post ran articles discussing the timing of the explosion, its impact on military aid to Europe, and subsequent calls for international atomic control.

The Nobel Peace Prize is good in theory, but like Suu Kyi and the blood of the Rohingya on her hands, we haven't forgotten that dear Alfred is responsible for more deaths than almost any man in history with one of his 355 patents being dynamite. He stole this from the Chinese, and the chemistry is basically responsible for all modern artillery used in war. Sadly, this is true of the man who wanted to be remembered more as a chemist than a killer; in his defense, he never killed anyone directly in his lifetime that we know of, but he is, however, responsible for a lot of deaths. The Rohingya...
