A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates . When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism . ‘Very few people were true Nazis,’ he said, ‘but many enjoyed the return of [...]

It isn’t turning out that way. A wealthier China has become more assertive, notes Jacques. American prestige has further suffered from the financial crisis originating in the United States. But the fissure goes deeper: China does not accept the legitimacy and desirability of the post-World War II global order, which involves collective responsibility among great [...]

With U.S. troops leaving Iraq and deploying in Afghanistan, it’s worth asking: how are wars won now? Increasingly, they’re not. Instead, says Page Fortna, a political scientist at Columbia University who researches war outcomes, nearly half of all wars since World War II have ended indecisively. That trend between states started with the Cold War, [...]

Ahmadinejad said he’d write to U.N. secretary General Ban Ki-moon to ask for compensation for damages caused to Iran during the war, and for use of its territory and resources by allied powers, the Post reported.
“You inflicted lots of damages to the Iranian nation, put your weight on the shoulders [of the Iranian people] and [...]

Since the end of World War II, I contend that we have an even more wicked, incorrigible enemy that Western civilization must fight, but unlike Hitler’s conspicuous legions of Brownshirts and SS shock troops goose-stepping in front of the Reichstag, this enemy of modern times, this Liberal-Muslim Axis has as its greatest weapon deception, lies [...]

The U.S.-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation was signed in Washington, D.C., fifty years ago this month. Few alliances last half a century. The fact that this one has is a testament to its strength, but it is also the result of East Asia’s failure to develop stable political and security relationships in the decades after [...]

A world without nuclear weapons will be a disaster as countries position themselves to quickly build bombs in order to preemptively strike their enemies. But it’s actually worse than that. The transition period to the abolition of nuclear weapons will be extremely dangerous due to the temptation to preemptively strike.
After all, he notes, under abolition, [...]

In the face of total global economic collapse, the prospects of a massive international war are increasing. Historically, periods of imperial decline and economic crisis are marked by increased international violence and war. The decline of the great European empires was marked by World War I and World War II, with the Great Depression taking [...]

The United States set China on the course to modernization and military power, but Chinese ambitions are running far ahead of the country’s publicly stated aims. It has no qualms about retaking Taiwan or the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. It is time the United States tames China to avoid consequences like Japan’s backstabbing when [...]

It is hardly surprising that China wants to supplant U.S. power in the region. To the Chinese, the reign of “the middle kingdom” is the natural state of affairs and the past 200 years of Western dominance an aberration. Nor is it surprising that China wants to reshape international security arrangements that the United States [...]
