Major Articles on Clashes with Russia and China
Since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, America has enjoyed a unipolar moment, exercising unrivaled dominance over the world.
However, in recent years our extremely aggressive international actions have increasingly alienated other major world powers, eventually provoking Russia and China into forming a coalition to challenge our global authority. Russia’s Ukraine war is a direct consequence of this development, as is the growing possibility of a similar military clash with China over Taiwan.
My articles over the years have analyzed these growing conflicts with Russia and China and the dangerous possibility that they might escalate into World War III.
