Contemporary EU Geopolitics and the US-Assisted Rise of the Intermarum (I)
The unprecedented electoral success of Poland’s Law and Justice Party (Pis) has given the country its first majority government since 1989 and handed all positions of power to the ruling party.

Hypersonic deterrence: how to maintain strategic balance

The new “Red Menace” and NATO’s plans in the Arctic
The tragic events of the civil war in Ukraine, following the high-handed intervention by Western diplomats in the internal affairs of a post-Soviet state, have prompted NATO officials to once again leap upon their favorite warhorse.

NATO’s Black Sea bloc gets busy (II)
(Please read Part I prior to this article) The Bloc In Action General Characteristics: The central dynamic underpinning the Black Sea Bloc is one of irredentist expansionism and strategic branching, which by its very nature mandates that the group is constantly attempting to export its influence past its understood boundaries.
