This book tears into the sacred myths nations use to justify violence, control minds, and manipulate generations. It dismantles the illusion that history is objective, exposing how memory is curated, traditions are invented, and the dead are endlessly drafted into battles they never chose.

La guerra en Ucrania lleva más de tres años en curso y, a pesar de los valientes esfuerzos de los líderes mundiales por iniciar conversaciones de paz, ha seguido intensificándose, y ahora se perfila como un conflicto sin fin. En un acto de desesperación, la Federación Rusa ha retirado tropas de Corea del Norte y ahora está entrenando a personal militar de China, además de amenazar repetidamente al mundo entero con el uso de armas nucleares y el envío de drones hacia Europa Occidental, atacando zonas pobladas por civiles. Rusia está desesperada y está intentando arrastrar al mundo...

Die ewige Schlacht ist ein philosophisch-politisches Hörbuch über die tief verwurzelten Ursachen des Krieges. Es geht nicht nur um Geopolitik oder Armeen, sondern um Denkweisen, Strukturen, ökonomische Interessen und kulturelle Narrative, die seit Jahrhunderten Gewalt ermöglichen – und rechtfertigen. In zwanzig thematisch klar gegliederten Kapiteln führt der Autor Holger Elias die Hörer:innen durch ein breites Panorama der Kriegsursachen.

Free will and the small bit of education that one ends up with in this life through personal interest and study are really the only things that we control in this world. Access to both can be taken of course if one chooses bad actions, so the smart move is to spend the limited time that we have on this Earth focusing on personal growth, happiness, and self-expression. Murder is wrong, and sadly, the truth of the world is stranger and much harsher than fiction. We live in a world that is safer than at any other period prior in human history while simultaneously being bombarded with more ...

A Reorganized UN: Built from Ground Up proposes replacing the outdated United Nations with a bold, democratic, and digitally empowered global institution. The book introduces the 40-40-20 voting formula—40% based on population, 40% on GDP, and 20% equal vote—to balance power, fairness, and sovereignty. It critiques the failures of the current UN, rooted in colonial-era power structures and veto paralysis, and lays out a blueprint for a new system with a Peace Council, Global Commons Authority, and inclusive multilingual infrastructure.

Sangue d’Europa (Blood of Europe) was a headline used by the daily newspaper Il Manifesto during the bombing of Serbia this year. The same headline here is based on the same considerations made at the time by the editors of Il Manifesto, namely that the terrible events that are bloodying the Balkans are the dramatic legacy of the diplomatic shortcomings of the nascent Europe. This is not just the story of that war, but also a reportage across Serbia and Kosovo - in 60 photographs. ...to remember a war that we have now forgotten, at a time when someone turned our peninsula into a large ...

Dr. Ewen argues that the advent of the internet and social media has radically transformed the flow of information, making it more democratic and accessible to people across different continents. This democratization of information has, in turn, empowered individuals and non-state actors, enabling them to play a more significant role in the international arena. The book illustrates how these changes are challenging the conventional notions of sovereignty and control that nations have traditionally held, forcing a reevaluation of how power is understood and wielded on the global stage.

International Relations and Foreign Policy Perspective Going to war and court is deadly, costly, time-consuming, painful and counterproductive. Cultivating mutual respect and building meaningful relationships for collaboration however is empowering, productive and profitable. Nations and regional allies therefore are embracing peace as a path to economic prosperity, development and growth. Alternative methods of dispute resolution, mediation, and arbitration are increasingly being pursued before dehumanizing others with different viewpoints and perspectives. The world in which we live is ...

Doch die Dominanz in der EU ist erschüttert. Putins Ukraine-Krieg hat Deutschlands Schwächen offengelegt: Wirtschaftlich anfällig, strategisch naiv und längst nicht so modern, wie wir denken.

The Ukraine War has been horrible for everyone in the world, especially Europeans and Americans who have been made to fund it via tax dollars, despite a resolution to end the war back in 2022 being stopped by Boris Johnson who interjected peace talks between the Ukraine and Russia months after the war had just started. To date, millions of people have lost their lives and been displaced, and everyone living in the US and the eurozone have suffered from over two years of inflation, high energy costs, job loss, mental and physical health issues, and the threat of nuclear war, which didn't ...

"The Number One Mission" explores the Nigerian High Commission in the United Kingdom from the perspective of history and diplomacy.

Russia, China, and Australia all have competing interests that differ but are related, and this book discusses why. The Australia and New Zealand that we know today will leave the Commonwealth by 2050, and the government will be taken over democratically by the Han Chinese and resemble something similar to Singapore's "People's Action Party", which is a communistic entity that markets itself democratically. The reality is that Chinese immigrants are great because they are educated, come with money, and don't commit crimes; they are also supported by the largest economy and ethnic group in ...

La situación coreana ha sido una gran pérdida de tiempo para EE.UU. y el mundo durante los últimos 75 años y, si se investiga más a fondo, se descubre que los conglomerados empresariales que representan el 85% del PIB de Corea del Sur y emplean al 10% de la población del país son tan malos como el dictador de Corea del Norte, Kim Jung Un. Me encantan los productos de Samsung, pero esto no es razón suficiente para pasar por alto lo que ha ocurrido en el país en los últimos 70 años. De hecho, más del 75% de los coreanos eran analfabetos en 1940, y el cambio a una nación ...

La deuda nacional de EE.UU. superó la marca de los 35 billones de dólares a finales de julio de este año, y los pagos de intereses sobre ella serán inservibles con los actuales esquemas tributarios de EE.UU. para 2030. En términos nominales, la deuda es alta e impagable, pero en realidad no es nada. de qué preocuparse. En primer lugar, toda moneda es fiduciaria, y esto es bueno ya que nada restringe a un banco central excepto la producción económica del país que emite un billete fiduciario y su destreza militar. Históricamente, el dinero real ha sido oro y plata, pero el dinero ...

Singapur fue escrito por primera vez en el siglo XIV por un escriba chino en un barco mercante y descrito como un centro para barcos piratas sin ley y olvidado. Un par de siglos más tarde, los holandeses lo destruyeron porque todos los puertos del estrecho de Malaca estaban controlados por ellos y no querían competencia. En 1819, el general Raffles compró Singapur para la Compañía Británica de las Indias Orientales y comenzó su historia moderna. La Malasia británica existió durante casi 150 años antes de que los japoneses anexaran el territorio en 1942 y mataran a millones de ...
