I believe that the existing power structures in Europe and Northeast Asia are not sustainable through 2020.

Offensive realism predicts that the United States will send its army across the Atlantic when there is a potential hegemon in Europe that the local great powers cannot contain by themselves.

When World War II started on September 1, 1939, the German army contained 3.74 million soldiers and 103 divisions.

The sad fact is that international politics has always been a ruthless and dangerous business, and it is likely to remain that way.

Decapitation is a fanciful strategy.

This self-defeating behavior, so the argument goes, must be the result of warped domestic politics.

In an ideal world, where there are only good states, power would be largely irrelevant.
