а вот ваш земляк Andrei Martyanov из Сиэтла с вами не согласен... все-таки как военный эксперт он общепризнан в СШАPrivet wrote: 01 Dec 2020 12:20 Интересно, что думают по этому другие участники. Лично мне кажется, эта речь отчасти спровоцировала крестовый поход запада против России. Ведь в этой речи Путин фактически объявил войну однополярному миру. Безусловно, однополярная система, которая сложилась к этому времени, как минимум несправедлива. Этого вполне достаточно, чтобы желать её заменить. Однако, Россия в данный момент не располагает достаточными ресурсами и влиянием для того, чтобы ставить себе такую задачу.

The (Real) Revolution in Military AffairsThe liberal world order, a euphemism for American global hegemony, is crumbling at an accelerating pace. While its collapse is tangible, the outcome of such a collapse remains a matter of speculation and public debate. The US is desperately seeking to preserve the status quo, which rests primarily upon recognition of its military supremacy.
Models of emerging changes in military capability range from relatively simple to extremely complex ones. Viewing the evolution of the current system of international relations outside the framework of actual, rather than propaganda-driven, military capabilities is not only useless, it is dangerous since states’ mistaken assessment of their own and other states’ military power can lead to misadventures and catastrophic mistakes.
The United States’ efforts to preserve not just its dominance but the perception of its dominance are bound to fail for many important reasons, none more important than what is often misidentified in past American military-theoretical hypotheses about the future of warfare, known generically as the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA). This book explains why those hypotheses are failing and will continue to fail, and addresses the real RMA.
In the end, technological development in weaponry as a response to tactical, operational and strategic requirements defines not only a nation’s geopolitical status but determines the global order. Assessments of military capacity, if reality-based, serve as good predictors of the level of volatility in international relations and the level of violence globally.
