According to the most reliable global ranking of nations’ militaries, which is the ranking by U.S. News & World Report, #1 is Russia, #2 is U.S., and #3 is China, but no one denies that in natural resources, Russia not only is #1 but by an enormous margin, of 67% larger than […]
The American president tried to present himself to his constituents as a savior who would secure America’s future. To do this, he set several strategic goals. Of those that are on the foreign policy plane, this is the victory in the trade war with China and the conclusion of peace […]
