A European Missile Defense System to Replace the Great Game
The transformation of strategic relations between Russia and America along the lines of arms control is impossible in principle. The most realistic way to transform U.S.-Russian relations is to build a security community in the Euro-Atlantic area, within which relations between North American and European states, including Russia, would be demilitarized.

A Nonlinear Reconciliation
Still, even though one can state a decline in the complicated dynamics of Armenian-Turkish normalization, it would be wrong to speak of a total standstill in this process.

The Mystery of the Lost Corvette
The political intrigue has another side to it, namely, the deterrence of China’s growing ambitions in the Korean peninsula and across the region.

Foreign Policy Comeback
A handgun on the temple of an equally strong partner has always been the most reliable guarantee of relative stability, and not only in bilateral relations but on the global scale. The fear of each other’s power as the main bond keeping the international system together is vanishing.
