Global security disorder Opinion The first half of 2022 had a profound effect on the global security order, revealing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s empirical ambitions, galvanizing unity... for several years. Just a few weeks ago, the world saw Putin double down on this region, calling sham elections for residents to vote to become part of Russia. He declared “victory,” with no transparency that would be taken seriously by any credible international organization. After each of these transgressions, there have been sanctions and condemnations from NATO allies and partners. But the sanctions did not deter Putin’s march. He has continued to build on his ill-gotten gains. He has maintained a steady stream of rhetoric, misinformation and cyberattacks on NATO allies, attempting to weaken countries through their own populations. Read more:

Just a few weeks ago, the world saw Putin double down on this region, calling sham elections for residents to vote to become part of Russia. He declared “victory,” with no transparency that would be taken seriously by any credible international organization. Among the most expensive additions was the Executive package, with semi-aniline leather trim, massaging front seats, and power-reclining and massaging rear seats ($17,380). After each of these transgressions, there have been sanctions and condemnations from NATO allies and partners. But the sanctions did not deter Putin’s march. Options brought the as-tested price to $110,030. He has continued to build on his ill-gotten gains.m. He has maintained a steady stream of rhetoric, misinformation and cyberattacks on NATO allies, attempting to weaken countries through their own populations. The G90's $99,795 base price accounts for virtually everything the S500 and the LS500 had—and in some cases more. It is presumed that Putin thought NATO would be divided over his further invasion of Ukraine — a side benefit of taking Ukraine’s territory based on his stated premise that it had never left Russia, ignoring the democratically elected government of now over 30 years. It hasn’t worked out that way. Our mount arrived with but one option: Matte Gray paint ($1500). His tanks rolling toward Kyiv ran out of fuel; his troops hastily retreated to the Donbas region leaving their dead comrades behind; and he magnified a leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has inspired his people and the world by fighting to keep his nation whole and free. Rather than divide NATO, Putin significantly strengthened the alliance and prompted its expansion with the application of two new allies, Finland and Sweden, partners that add significant, proven military capabilities and resilient democracies.m. But more important, Putin’s miscalculation has had a long-term impact on the reset of global security. The expansion of NATO now has become an important strategic message to Chinese President Xi Jinping, and the unity isn’t limited to European partnerships. At NATO’s heads-of-state summit in June in Madrid, four major Asian partners were invited: Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan. NATO is becoming the convener for like-minded nations that prioritize human rights, free press and rules-based competition for trade. The purpose is to expand the security umbrella for self-governing countries. Saturday, Oct. NATO members are transatlantic countries, but NATO has long included strong Pacific democracies as valued partners. In the NATO , for instance, 40 countries participated, including the 30 NATO members. Because of the current malign activities of both Russia and China, those partnerships will grow in interoperability. The Strategic Concept adopted at the Madrid summit is a bold plan to build defenses against further Russian aggression and deterrence for China’s pressure on its Asian neighbors. President Xi’s Belt and Road Initiative, an aggressive effort to establish land and water infrastructure throughout Europe, Africa and South America, is a signal to the rest of the world about his intentions to gain greater control over global navigation.m. NATO is now increasing its military presence in Europe from 40,000 to 300,000. The plan would prioritize interoperability of these forces through more joint training exercises. The acceptance of Finland and Sweden into the alliance will add economic and military strength as joint security measures increase to deal with Russian aggression and focus turns to relations with China. In my view, economic trade is the distinguishing factor in relations with China compared to Russia, and is the most potent leverage against aggressive tactics. China’s economy depends on manufacturing exports. 23, 2022. Trade fuels their military buildup and domestic stability. A united coalition of North American, European and Asian democracies, adding like-minded Middle Eastern oil-rich countries, could cripple the Chinese economy if China goes too far outside the rules-based order of free and fair trade and overuses economic leverage as a tool to retaliate against countries that stand up to them. The most stark recent example is China’s trade embargo on Australia based on its perceived discrimination against allowing government-owned Huawei into the Australian secure communications networks. President Xi’s strategy has been affected by Putin’s missteps. The unity of the world’s most competitive economies could raise a dilemma for China. Saturday, Oct. If Xi tries to double-down on Taiwan, as he has on Hong Kong, violating agreements on “One Country, Two Systems,” he risks losing vital trade requirements for China’s domestic viability. The U.S. and its NATO allies face choices, too. How do we address China’s tensions with Taiwan or the build-up of resources in the South China Sea and along the coast of Japan without jeopardizing trade? What would deter Chinese aggression without starting a costly confrontation? Any strategy starts with unity of purpose and commitment by the world’s largest economies. 22, 2022, in the Miracles of Christmas on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. While we must continue to build modern defense capabilities, the best leverage for our common security may be economic interdependence.
