MOBILITY. SYSTEMS To face the growing geostrategic complexity and to better serve their customers, Renault Trucks Defense, Acmat and Panhard have brought together their fields of expertise and united their forces under one single brand: ARQUUS-DEFENSE.COM Vehicules_Arquus_210x297.indd 1 22/05/2018 15:06 Editorial Winter is Coming On 1 July 1944, the United States convened a conference at a ski resort hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. Delegates of 44 allied nations were there to discuss the post-war global order with America, then the world’s military, financial and economic superpower. The American proposal was simple. Instead of absorbing the European and Axis empires and establishing Pax Americana, the Washington delegation proposed three things: free access to the American market, protection of shipping lanes, and security from the Sovi- ets, including a nuclear umbrella. In return, the 44 nations would allow America to fight the Cold War in any manner it chose. Exchanging their national security policies for those three gifts was a no-brainer, and globalization was born. In the following years, organisations administering the new world order grew in number, size and power. They now include NATO, the UN, the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the G7, and others. In 72 years, these organisations changed the 44 Bretton Woods members from needy supplicants to power- ful competitors. The problem is, they continue to draw on the economic concessions and largesse of the country that founded the system – the United States. Then the disruptor of globalisation entered the White House in 2016. Trump’s election astonished globalist bureaucrats and Deep State careerists in Washing- ton. Together with the Democrat Party and the mainstream media, they spent the next four years vilifying the president and preparing for the 2020 election. Trump spent those years expanding the economy, reducing taxes, increasing jobs, and ending U.S. depend- ence on foreign oil. He also earned the eternal enmity of the Bretton Woods globalists by leaving or replacing multilateral alliances like NAFTA and the Trans Pacific Partnership, by insisting on tariffs favouring the US despite WTO complaints, and by confronting NATO allies with demands they pay the agreed-upon amounts for their defence. Resistance to Trump reached a peak when the Democrat Party, mainstream media, social media, and some senior US bureaucrats stole the 2020 election by combining fraudulent mail-in ballots, rigged ballot counting machines, and brazen fraud at polling places. There are too many videos and sworn affidavits to doubt that during a pause in ballot counting in several key states, millions of ballots appeared and radically changed the contest. If one needs details, there are the studies by Dr. Peter K. Navarro. Having captured the White House and Congress by exploiting the flaws inherent in a mail-in voting system, the Democrats decided to make the system permanent. Just days after Biden’s inauguration, an 800-page bill appeared in the Democrat Congress. Among many other things, HR-1 will: • Require that all states implement universal voter registration. Voters will not be required to register in person, but can be registered from databases, whether or not they are il- legal aliens or felons. • Bar states from passing any laws about mail-in voting. • Require that voters without an ID be allowed to vote if they simply sign a statement saying they are who they say they are. • Create a new Federal Election Commission of five members appointed by the president. The president’s party would get three of five seats and be able to make changes to elec- toral rules at any time. In reaction to such alarming legislation, suppression of freedom of speech, calls from Democrats to confiscate firearms and to send “Trumpists” to re-education camps, it is no surprise that Texas state legislator Kyle Biedermann introduced a bill to allow Texans to vote on secession from the United States. It is too early to know if other states will join Texas, but as characters in the TV series Game of Thrones said when danger approached, “winter is coming,” American conservatives now know that grave internal dangers are on their nation’s horizon. The chill of that winter will reach Europe.

We make it fly. airbus.com Editorial Europe Needs More Pragmatism The elections to the European Parliament in May were beset with more paradoxes than they have ever been. The strongest party which will take its seats in the plenary chambers in Brus- sels (and, as an expensive anachronism, also in Strasbourg), albeit only for a brief period, is the Brexit Party, with 29 seats, whose programme is implicit in their name. Although EU institutions across the entire continent are challenged in terms of their public acceptance, in many countries the election has been fought with a very great deal of emotion, as if the day of reckoning is dawning, on which decisions will be All or Nothing. Some have raised concerns about the prosperous “European Project”, which they see as in dire need of rescue from malevolent sceptics. Others have painted an image of the decline of the West, which would inevitably come about if Brussels were to be allowed to continue on its present course.

  • Defence Policy in the Italian Republic: Frames and Issues
    UNISCI Discussion Papers, Nº 25 (January / Enero 2011) ISSN 1696-2206 DEFENCE POLICY IN THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC: FRAMES AND ISSUES Nicola Labanca 1 University of Siena Abstract: The article focuses on the civil-military relations in Republican Italy. The new democratic model of relations between the political authorities and the military had a strong continuity in the past. Also, in the new Republic the Armed Forces enjoyed a large degree of autonomy. Different phases can be identified in the history of Italian defence policy. In the reconstruction phase (1945-48), the General Staff decided to have again a big Army, based more on quantity than quality. The membership of NATO and the hardest period of the Cold War (1949-53) greatly accelerated the transformation of Italian Armed Forces. Some scepticism against limitations that NATO posed to national autonomy were overcome by the consciousness that the Alliance provided conspicuous means and allowed to abolish the military limitations of the 1947 Peace Treaty. In the years 1954-62, the Armed Forces had to scale down previous expectations, but at the same time, modernized quickly thanks to US aid. The Army was the first beneficiary, then the Air Force and finally (in 1958) the Navy. This was for two reasons: the Navy was the service in best conditions at the end of the war, while Soviet threat in the Mediterranean was at a low level. However, the Army still relied mainly on numbers, with a low number of armoured and motorized units. In these years, Italy also inaugurated its nuclear military policy. From the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s, the Armed Forces started a “ristrutturazione” (“restructuration”) required by the new NATO strategy of flexible response, which accelerated in the years 1975-78.
