On Australian adjusted defence strategy
Saturday, September 30, 2023, 11:00 (GMT+7)
International military researchers point out that Australia has to face a possibly higher level of strategic risks due to the increasing strategic competition between major powers, the improvement in military capabilities, especially long-range strike capability of some countries in the region, along with issues of climate change, epidemics, the disruption of the global supply chain, etc. Faced with the movements in the Indo-Pacific region and non-traditional security challenges, Australia must certainly adjust its defence strategy to cope with new security challenges, while protecting its nation-state’s interests.
Tightened ties between the US and the Philippines
Monday, August 28, 2023, 14:43 (GMT+7)
After the Cold War, the number of US bases in the Western Pacific diminished, resulting in a reduction of US forces’ presence. This decline led to doubts among allies regarding Washington’s commitment to its partnerships. Therefore, the effort to upgrade relations with the Philippines signifies that the US is elevating its commitments to the region to a new level and intends to continue asserting its leadership position as a superpower. However, international public opinion also posits that this move could potentially escalate tensions in an already tense region, impacting both regional and global security.

Europe on the US’s geopolitical chessboard
Friday, April 21, 2023, 07:15 (GMT+7)
The US has always considered Europe a key factor in its foreign policy, therefore it uses NATO as a tool to maintain its influence and protect its national interests. Hence, if the EU succeeds in forming a full-fledged and united army of its own, it is very likely that its members will consider dismantling NATO bases in their territory and withdrawing from the Pact. At the same time, this will neutralise the NATO leverage as the EU becomes more independent and free from the US’s influence.
