THE 3rd WORLD WAR AND THE RESPONSIBLES FOR ITS OUTBREAK.pdfFaga1939
This article aims to demonstrate that four major actors are responsible for the increase in international tensions in the world that could lead to the outbreak of the 3rd World War. These actors are the following: 1) The United States government that seeks to avoid the loss of its hegemony in the world, threatened by Russia and China, respectively, in the military and economic fields; 2) US war industry that seeks to expand arms sales with the spread of wars in the world to increase its profits; 3) UN that remains passive and inoperative in the search for world peace, and, 4) Great capitalist powers led by the United States that can unleash a new world war to prevent the debacle of the world capitalist system.
Preserving Ukraine’s Independence, Resisting Russian Aggression: What the Uni...atlanticcouncil
Preserving Ukraine’s Independence, Resisting Russian Aggression: What the United States and NATO Must Do, a joint report by the Atlantic Council, Brookings Institution, and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, argues that to deter further aggression by the Kremlin and its surrogates, Ukraine urgently needs significant military assistance. Drawing on discussions with senior NATO and US officials, the authors—Ivo Daalder, Michele Flournoy, John Herbst, Jan Lodal, Steven Pifer, James Stavridis, Strobe Talbott, and Charles Wald—argue that in order to enable Ukraine to defend itself, the US government should provide Ukraine $3 billion in both lethal and nonlethal military assistance over the next three years.
If President Vladimir Putin’s military intervention in Ukraine is not stopped, the West can expect further Kremlin provocations elsewhere. Although Western economic sanctions have made it clear that the price of Russian aggression will be the Russian economy, these measures have not been able to curb the Kremlin’s revisionist foreign policy. Providing US military assistance to Ukraine is critical to the country’s defense and to preserving peace and stability in Europe, Eurasia, and beyond.
In 2011 the world witnessed profound changes taking place in large parts of North-Africa and the Middle-East. Autocratic leaders were brought down by their people who had enough of the restrictive measures they had been a victim of for so many years. The civil unrest that had spontaneously broke out in Tunisia soon spilled over to Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya and Syria. Citizens demanded their leaders to step down in order for democracy to be introduced. These civil uprisings have been met with violent responses from authorities and have, in some cases, led to civil wars.
For many Western countries the events of the Arab Spring came unexpected. Although many of them supported the people’s cry for democratic changes, no serious efforts were made to actively involve themselves in these domestic conflicts. However, having witnessed the atrocities committed by Colonel Gadhafi in Libya, an international coalition of the willing intervened militarily which eventually led to the downfall of the dictator.
On 20 March 2011 this coalition of the willing conducted aerial bombardments after the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) passed Resolution 1973. This Resolution permitted the coalition to enforce a no-fly zone over the North-African country. After a week, mission control was handed over from the coalition, which was mainly led by the United States of America in military and intelligence contributions, to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The civil war in Libya has proven to be a perfect test-case for the European Union (EU) to see if it is able to fully maximise its military capabilities. Several preconditions that were most favourable for the EU were made in the run-up to the military operation: Security Council Resolution 1973 authorised the use of force; regional support in the form of a request made by the Arab League; and the US made it clear that it would not take the lead as it has done so many times before.
However, the possibility of an EU military intervention in Libya was quickly rejected since no agreement could be reached between the 27 EU Member States. Considering that this crisis has occurred near its periphery, and recollecting the EU’s total absence during the Yugoslav wars, it is surprising that the EU did not respond to the Libyan people’s cry for help. The European Union’s handling of the civil war in Libya has been labelled as passive, slow and incoherent (Brattberg 2011, p. 1). This is most surprising considering the tough talks expressed prior to the military intervention by France, the United Kingdom and to a lesser extent, Germany.
The conflicting national foreign policies posed the biggest constraint on the EU’s effectiveness to intervene in Libya. This thesis will therefore try to answer the following research question: Will the different perceptions that the ‘Big Three’ have of the CSDP hinder the EU’s capability to conduct future large-scale military operations?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
