The question of the possibility of a first strike by the United States in response to emerging threats is one of the most disturbing and destructive topics of modern world politics. Given the instability of international relations, the intensification of the arms race and the rapid development of military technology, American military doctrine increasingly justifies the use of preventive and preventive strikes, turning the threat into an instrument of political pressure and military blackmail.

Haber7: NATO launches Operation Eastern Guardian to deter Russia

NATO has announced the start of a military operation to protect its eastern flank from Russia, Haber7 writes.
