During the cold war the military doctrine of NATO also intended the company of substitute airfields. In addition 25 sections of the motorway had been prepared only in West Germany between 1966 and 1989 as land roads. There were not parties beaconing-, radar or distant registration facilities on the so-called emergency landing fields, so that they had to be carried along by the troop.
The squadrons of the Bundesluftwaffe were equipped by mobile air traffic control trains which brought verlastete air traffic control arrangement 70 (FSA-70) to the application for MAN 630 trucks.

The attack on Boinville 26 August 1914.

The tactical doctrine for air-to-air combat includes use of sun and altitude, surprise attack, and turning to meet a threat.
Dogfights are generally contests fought at low airspeeds, while maintaining enough energy for violent acrobatic maneuvering, as pilots attempt to remain within air speeds with a maximum turn rate and minimum turn radius.
Superiority in a dog fight can depend on a pilot's experience and skill, and the agility of his fighter when flown at minimum air speeds approaching loss of control (causing a danger of stalling); the winner typically plays to the strengths of his own aircraft while forcing his adversary to fly at a design disadvantage.

Military doctrine of the 20th century sought to escape the heavy tank, shifting its sights towards high-mobility.
This walker marks the return of the implacable MBT. What it lacks in speed it makes up for in defences.
I've been building this spider on-and-off for a couple months now, thought I'd post it and see if anyone's still around. I don't have access to a great camera, but hopefully you can make out the details I've tried to pack into this thing. It's got 6 little detachable drones on the top, as well as concealable rocket launchers which can open up or stow away.
It's heavily inspired by the Deathbringer from HZD, though it really started as an attempt to make a heavy unit within the same universe as my Grifon unit from a few months back.
Also the face is inspired by the Ghost in the Shell tank.

Around 2020 the UIC moved into an era of professionalism and western military equipment and doctrine. Several hundred combat exercises testing both uniform, weapons, vehicles and tactics a third generation combat load was developed. This structured two combat types for standard 'boots on the ground' operations. Rifleman supported by automatic rifleman, one built for speed and procession, the other for heavy, suppressive contact with hostile forces.
- - - - - - - - - -
After many reworkings, I've finally arrived at generation three of the UIC boi's for the new season. Still with the BF4 vibes as, they are badass as hell and quite frankly standard issue is boring. The diversity inspired by the game adds for a unique look which mirrors over to real-life as today's squads feature soldiers that fill many different roles. This set up just adds a wee bit of fantasy with reality which I'm just fine with.
I also put Codey's siggy in as one of the 'support' fella's back far left. Hope you all enjoy!

Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
Khalil Gibran
Judaism
This term appears three times in the Book of Daniel (7:9, 13, 22), and is used in the sense of God being eternal.
“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.” Daniel 7:9.
Eastern Christianity
In Eastern Orthodox Christian hymns and icons, the Ancient of Days is sometimes identified with God the Father or occasionally the Holy Spirit; but most properly, in accordance with Orthodox theology he is identified with God the Son, or Jesus. Most of the eastern church fathers who comment on the passage in Daniel (7:9-10, 13–14) interpreted the elderly figure as a prophetic revelation of the son before his physical incarnation.
Eastern Christian art will sometimes portray Jesus Christ as an old man, the Ancient of Days, to show symbolically that he existed from all eternity, and sometimes as a young man, or wise baby, to portray him as he was incarnate. This iconography emerged in the 6th century, mostly in the Eastern Empire with elderly images, although usually not properly or specifically identified as "the Ancient of Days."
The first images of the Ancient of Days, so named with an inscription, were developed by iconographers in different manuscripts, the earliest of which are dated to the 11th century. The images in these manuscripts included the inscription "Jesus Christ, Ancient of Days," confirming that this was a way to identify Christ as pre-eternal with the God the Father. Indeed, later, it was declared by the Russian Orthodox Church at the Great Synod of Moscow in 1667 that the Ancient of Days was the Son and not the Father.
“Ветхий днями” - библ. (титул Бога; термин, которым символически обозначается одно из свойств Бога; термин этот употреблён пророком Даниилом при описании одного из его таинственных видений в Вавилоне:
"Видел я, наконец, что поставлены были престолы, и воссел Ветхий днями одеяние на Нем было бело, как снег, и волосы главы Его - как чистая волна; престол Его - как пламя огня, колеса Его - пылающий огонь" (Даниил 7:9)
Діонісій Ареопагіт про значення імені "Вєтхий деньми":
«Як Вєтхий деньми Бог оспівується тому, що Він існує і як вічність, і як час всього і до днів, і до вічності, і до часу. Однак і час, і день, і година, і вічність треба відносити до Нього богоподібно, тому що Він при кожному русі залишається незмінним і нерухомим, вічно рухаючись, перебуває в Собі і є Причиною і вічності, і часу, і днів. Тому і в священних богоявленнях при містичних осяяннях Бог зображується і як сивий, і як юний: старець означає, що Він Стародавній і сущий «від початку», а юнак — що Він не старіє, а обидва показують, що Він проходить крізь усе від початку до кінця, або ж, як каже наш Божественний священнодосконалець, обидва вони виявляють Божественну давнину: старець - першого в часі, а більш юний - більш початкового за кількістю, оскільки одиниця і найближчі до неї числа спочатку далеко від них відійшли ».
«Основная софиологическая антиномия выражается в целом ряде частных антиномий в общем учении о Боге. Так, антиномичны вечность и время: Бог вечен и в этом смысле сверхвременен, но для мира Бог открывается во времени, как во времени совершилось и пришествие Христа в мире и вознесение из него.
Далее, – антиномичны сверхпространственность и всепространственность или вездесущие Божие – свобода Творца от всякой ограниченности и внеположности пространства, и пространственная обусловленность действия Бога в мире, в частности, и в явлении Христа.»
/Икона и иконопочитание, протоиерей Сергий Булгаков/

What makes you uniquely you?
As I go through life, I've discovered how un-unique I am. There are thousands of people who wear the same clothes as me, participate in the same activities as me, believe the same doctrines as me, and ever ignorantly think that they are the only one to experience the same things as me. I don't really find that saddening though, for humans are relational figures and thus our un-uniqueness binds us to one another. I think uniqueness is a highly relative term (at least in this case), but what makes me (and any other human) unique is my relationship with others and their relationship with me. I place great worth on certain people, and that ability to give and receive worth is unique to every individual, with an infinite amount of combinations brought about through every person everyone comes in contact with. I can make a person seem to me more or less unique, and others can do the same in their view of me and the view of their relationship with me. We are all connected by this ability as well as our un-uniqueness, which in a sense makes us incredibly unique in that we are all the connecting element of the red string of destiny and without each one of us, the string would be broken.
-- my answer to a psychology question that we never turned in.
"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may tangle but it will never break."

One of the main workhorses of FPKF, Sakharov class was designed as part of Navy's renewal program, which included a number of different ships, most common of which was the Gandhi class. It was a domestic aircraft/spacecraft carrier, the type of ships that in the doctrine of peacekeeping forces are the basis of the fleet along with frigates, since heavy artillery cruisers and battleships were not very suitable for resolving regional conflicts and didn't fit into the image of the FPKF.
The ship has a forced propulsion system similar to that installed on the Gandhi-class frigates, which increased the unification between types of ships and ease of maintenance. However, the result of this was a relatively low speed, which, however, was not a significant disadvantage, because it was initially assumed that the carrier should always be under the cover of frigates or cruisers. But already at the pre-production stage, customers changed their requirements, and now Sakharov-class spacecraft carriers had to be able to perform combat missions without being accompanied by other large ships. The result of these requirements was the strengthening of defensive armament and the installation of two twin plasma cannons, despite the fact that the installation of heavy artillery was not originally intended. This decision turned out to be very successful in the end, since the Nobel-class cruisers were delayed and for a long time the "Sakharov"s served as spacecraft-carrying cruisers. The ship also had a rather unusual feature - two "hulls", which contain hangars and storage facilities, could be dropped in case of an emergency, and the middle "main" part of the ship could quickly retreat from a dangerous situation. This ability was a compromise that the engineers made to save the crew in the event that speed was required, which the "Sakharov"s did not have.
At the beginning of the Insectoid Wars, they were the most common carriers in the fleet. Despite being well protected from enemy light vehicles, without cover from specialized artillery ships their relatively low speed and underarmament led to heavy losses. Over time, this problem became less acute, as the shortage of ships in the fleet leveled off, but by that time the production of the "Sakharov"s had been stopped and they were gradually being forced out of the fleet by more modern carriers and spacecraft-carrying battleships. Until the end of the war, they mainly performed the tasks of patrolling and transferring cargo and equipment, almost not participating in large battles. After the Insectoid Wars, they were distributed to various self-defense forces and PMCs, where they can still be found today.
"And I saw a great sadness descend upon mankind. The best grew weary of their works. A doctrine appeared, accompanied by a faith: "All is empty, all is the same, all has been!" And from all the hills it echoed: "All is empty, all is the same, all has been!""
by Remigius Hogenbergh,print,published 1572
Matthew Parker (6 August 1504 – 17 May 1575) was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1559 until his death in 1575. He was also an influential theologian and arguably the co-founder (with Thomas Cranmer and Richard Hooker) of Anglican theological thought.
Parker was one of the primary architects of the Thirty-Nine Articles, the defining statements of Anglican doctrine. The Parker collection of early English manuscripts, including the book of St. Augustine Gospels and Version A of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, was created as part of his efforts to demonstrate that the English Church was historically independent from Rome, creating one of the world's most important collections of ancient manuscripts.
The eldest son of William Parker, he was born in Norwich, in St. Saviour's parish. His mother's maiden name was Alice Monins, and she may have been related by marriage to Thomas Cranmer. When William Parker died, in about 1516, his widow married John Baker. Matthew was sent in 1522 to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge,[1] where he is said to have been contemporary with William Cecil, but Cecil was only two years old at the time. Parker graduated BA in 1525, was ordained deacon in April and priest in June 1527, and was elected fellow of Corpus in the following September. He commenced MA in 1528, and was one of the Cambridge scholars whom Thomas Wolsey wished to transplant to his newly founded "Cardinal College" at Oxford.
Parker, like Cranmer, declined the invitation. He had come under the influence of the Cambridge reformers, and after Anne Boleyn's recognition as queen he was made her chaplain. Through her, he was appointed dean of the college of secular canons at Stoke-by-Clare in 1535. Hugh Latimer wrote to him in that year urging him not to fall short of the expectations which had been formed of his ability. In 1537 he was appointed chaplain to King Henry VIII. In 1538 he was threatened with prosecution, but the Bishop of Dover, however, reported to Thomas Cromwell that Parker "hath ever been of a good judgment and set forth the Word of God after a good manner. For this he suffers some grudge." He graduated DD in that year, and in 1541 was appointed to the second prebend in the reconstituted cathedral church of Ely. In 1544, on Henry VIII's recommendation, he was elected master of Corpus Christi College, and in 1545 vice-chancellor of the university. He got into some trouble with the chancellor, Stephen Gardiner, over a ribald play, Pammachius, performed by the students, which derided the old ecclesiastical system.
On the passing of the act of parliament in 1545 enabling the king to dissolve chantries and colleges, Parker was appointed one of the commissioners for Cambridge, and their report may have saved its colleges from destruction. Stoke, however, was dissolved in the following reign, and Parker received a generous pension. He took advantage of the new reign to marry in June, 1547, before clerical marriages had been legalized by parliament and convocation, Margaret, daughter of Robert Harlestone, a Norfolk squire. During Kett's Rebellion, he preached in the rebels' camp on Mousehold Hill, without much effect, and later encouraged his secretary, Alexander Neville, to write his history of the rising.
Parker's association with Protestantism advanced with the times, and he received higher promotion under John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland than under the moderate Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset. At Cambridge, he was a friend of Martin Bucer and preached Bucer's funeral sermon in 1551. In 1552 he was promoted to the rich deanery of Lincoln, and in July 1553 he supped with Northumberland at Cambridge, when the duke marched north on his hopeless campaign against the accession of Mary Tudor. As a supporter of Northumberland and a married man, under the new regime Parker was deprived of his deanery, his mastership of Corpus Christi, and his other preferments. However, he survived Mary's reign without leaving the country – a fact that probably aggravated more ardent Protestants who went into exile and idealized their fellows who were martyred by Queen Mary. Parker respected authority, and when his time came he could consistently impose authority on others. He was not eager to assume this task, and made great efforts to avoid promotion to the archbishopric of Canterbury, which Elizabeth designed for him as soon as she had succeeded to the throne.
He was elected on 1 August 1559 but, given the turbulence and executions that had preceded Elizabeth's accession, it was difficult to find the requisite four bishops willing and qualified to consecrate Parker, and not until December 19 was that ceremony performed at Lambeth by William Barlow, formerly Bishop of Bath and Wells, John Scory, formerly Bishop of Chichester, Miles Coverdale, formerly Bishop of Exeter, and John Hodgkins, Bishop of Bedford. The allegation of an indecent consecration in the Nag's Head Fable seems first to have been made by the Jesuit, Christopher Holywood, in 1604, and has since been discredited. Parker's consecration was, however, legally valid only by the plentitude of the royal supremacy; the Edwardine Ordinal, which was used, had been repealed by Mary Tudor and not re-enacted by the parliament of 1559. The Roman Catholic Church asserted that the form of consecration used was insufficient to make a bishop, and therefore represented a break in the Apostolic Succession, but the Church of England has rejected this, arguing that the form of words used made no difference to the substance or validity of the act.
Elizabeth wanted a moderate man, so she chose Parker. There was also an emotional attachment. Parker had been the favourite chaplain of Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn. Before Anne was arrested in 1536, she had entrusted Elizabeth's spiritual well-being to Parker. A few days after this, Anne had been executed following charges of adultery, incest and treason. Parker also possessed all the qualifications Elizabeth expected from an archbishop except celibacy. He mistrusted popular enthusiasm, and he wrote in horror of the idea that "the people" should be the reformers of the Church. He was not an inspiring leader, and no dogma, no prayer-book, not even a tract or a hymn is associated with his name. The 56 volumes published by the Parker Society include only one by its eponymous hero, and that is a volume of correspondence. He was a disciplinarian, a scholar, a modest and moderate man of genuine piety and irreproachable morals. His historical research was exemplified in his De antiquitate ecclesiae, and his editions of Asser, Matthew Paris, Thomas Walsingham, and the compiler known as Matthew of Westminster; his liturgical skill was shown in his version of the psalter and in the occasional prayers and thanksgivings which he was called upon to compose. He left a priceless collection of manuscripts, largely collected from former monastic libraries, to his college at Cambridge. The Parker Library at Corpus Christi bears his name and houses his collection.
Parker avoided involvement in secular politics and was never admitted to Elizabeth's privy council. Ecclesiastical politics gave him considerable trouble. Some of the evangelical reformers wanted liturgical changes and at least the option not to wear certain clerical vestments, if not their complete prohibition. Early presbyterians wanted no bishops, and the conservatives opposed all these changes, often preferring to move in the opposite direction toward the practices of the Henrician church. The queen herself begrudged episcopal privilege until she eventually recognised it as one of the chief bulwarks of the royal supremacy. To Parker's consternation, the queen refused to add her imprimatur to his attempts to secure conformity, though she insisted that he achieve this goal. Thus Parker was left to stem the rising tide of Puritan feeling with little support from parliament, convocation or the Crown. The bishops' Interpretations and Further Considerations, issued in 1560, tolerated a lower vestiarian standard than was prescribed by the rubric of 1559, but it fell short of the desires of the anti-vestiarian clergy like Coverdale (one of the bishops who had consecrated Parker) who made a public display of their nonconformity in London.
The Book of Advertisements, which Parker published in 1566, to check the anti-vestiarian faction, had to appear without specific royal sanction; and the Reformatio legum ecclesiasticarum, which John Foxe published with Parker's approval, received neither royal, parliamentary nor synodical authorization. Parliament even contested the claim of the bishops to determine matters of faith. "Surely," said Parker to Peter Wentworth, "you will refer yourselves wholly to us therein." "No, by the faith I bear to God," retorted Wentworth, "we will pass nothing before we understand what it is; for that were but to make you popes. Make you popes who list, for we will make you none." Disputes about vestments had expanded into a controversy over the whole field of Church government and authority, and Parker died on May 17, 1575, lamenting that Puritan ideas of "governance" would "in conclusion undo the queen and all others that depended upon her." By his personal conduct he had set an ideal example for Anglican priests, and it was not his fault that national authority failed to crush the individualistic tendencies of the Protestant Reformation.
"We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the first instant of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace of the Omnipotent God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind, was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin, has been revealed by God, and therefore should firmly and constantly be believed by all the faithful."

. . . . Is Christian doctrine, where it covers real mysteries, really a highly complicated system of orderly statements? Or is it rather a mysteriously simple thing of infinite fullness, which can be propounded in an immense variety of statements, while its mysterious and simple unity remains unchanged? So that man, faced with this multiplicity of assertions, need not be the victim of modernistic simplifications of religion if he finds himself as he really is, the being in face of the nameless mystery.

Bold line-up of landmark Iranian ballistic missiles, key pieces of the Iranian military defense doctrine, at Tehran's Islamic Revolution and Holy Defense museum.
Since Islam forbids indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction (e.g. nuclear, chemical or biological weapons), Iran has placed great efforts in developing missile capacities, as an effective strategy of asymmetric warfare to keep large invading powers and their local satraps/mercenaries from attacking the country despite their overwhelmingly superior military budgets.
The smallest of these missiles, the Fateh 110 and Qiam 1, were the ones used by Iran to attack two US military bases in Iraq in 2020 in retaliation for the assassination of general Qassem Soleimani and were used extensively to wipe out ISIS and Al-Qaeda from most of Syria and Iraq.

I am a photographer, not a Sinologue. In China I did a lot of walking, a lot of looking, and I took a lot of pictures. I also drank a lot of tea while listening to endless recitations of the latest versions of the Party doctrine. I read all the right books, learned what I could from fellow travelers, shared their enthusiasms, disappointments, and bewilderments. What else could I possibly add? To understand how the Chinese think and feel is so difficult that I leave the subtle art of analysis and commentary to others. The best way to discover China is perhaps to use one’s eyes. Intense attention to detail and to the moment, here even more than elsewhere, can lead to knowledge and understanding. BY Marc Riboud (1923-2016)

The church stands where the temple of Isis was located in the imperial era. The church of St. Ignatius was built as a church of the Roman College commissioned by St. Ignatius and founded in 1551 as a "School of grammar, humanity and Christian doctrine, free of charge. ». The church was finished in 1566, and initially was named after the SS. Annunziata.
In 1626 the 'SS. Annunziata 'was demolished, to build in its place what would have been named after St. Ignatius. The construction projects were commissioned to the Bolognese Domenico Zampieri known as Domenichino, who had been nominated apostolic architect by Gregory XV, with the conspicuous financial contribution of Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi. But later the design was entrusted to Orazio Grassie and was completed only in 1685.
The façade is on two orders of pilasters and columns with Corinthian capitals: with a large window in the upper order, and three portals with two niches in the lower one, at the center of the façade two large columns leaning against countertops. The façade is in travertine, it takes the prototype of the church of the Gesù. The direction of the work was entrusted to the Jesuit friar Father Orazio Grassi, but the façade was erected only in the second half of the seventeenth century, perhaps by Alessandro Algardi.
The church overlooks the homonymous square that opens before the facade: a typically theatrical setting, inspired by the graceful taste of the period that is generally defined rococo.

La chiesa sorge là dove in epoca imperiale era situato il tempio di Iside.La chiesa di S. Ignazio sorse come chiesa del Collegio Romano voluto da S. Ignazio e fondato nel 1551 come «Scuola di grammatica, umanità e dottrina cristiana, a titolo gratuito». La chiesa fu terminata nel 1566, ed inizialmente venne intitolata alla SS. Annunziata.
Nel 1626 la ‘SS. Annunziata’ venne demolita, per edificare al s uo posto quella che sarebbe stata intitolata a Sant'Ignazio. I progetti di costruzione furono commissionati al bolognese Domenico Zampieri detto il Domenichino che era stato nominato architetto apostolico da Gregorio XV, con il cospicuo contributo economico del cardinale Ludovico Ludovisi. Ma in seguito la progettazione fu affidata a Orazio Grassie e fu completata soltanto nel 1685.
La facciata è su due ordini di lesene e colonne con capitelli corinzi: con un grande finestrone nell'ordine superiore, e tre portali con due nicchie in quello inferiore, al centro della facciata due grandi colonne addossate a contropilastri. La facciata è in travertino, riprende il prototipo della chiesa del Gesù. La direzione dei lavori fu affidata al frate gesuita Padre Orazio Grassi, ma la facciata fu eretta solo nella seconda metà del XVII secolo, forse da Alessandro Algardi.
La chiesa si affaccia sulla sull'omonima piazza che si apre dinnanzi alla facciata: una scenografia tipicamente teatrale, ispirata dal leggiadro gusto del periodo che viene definito in genere rococò.
Shadows From The East - The King Of The Haunted Castle - “Karaganov’s doctrine” by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)
_________________________________________________
After over the years having instituted an autocratic government in Russia in which all freedom of expression is prohibited and its defenders are persecuted, imprisoned or murdered, Putin now turns to Europe trying to impose his hegemonic vision of the world.
Through a hybrid war with cyber attacks and political interference / disinformation campaigns in elections and in the support of parties of the radical right or the extreme right, he has tried to divide Europe and NATO to weaken the West.
Attempt of annexation of Crimea and Putin’s threats to use force against other parts of Ukraine have unfolded a mainstreamed near abroad policy of the Russian Federation named as “Karaganov’s doctrine” by the name of its author Sergey Karaganov. The doctrine is an essential asset to understand Russian ideology, tools in foreign policy against neighbors and what is real soft power of influence.
Following Sergey Karaganov's theories that Russian-speakers, who live in non-Russian territories, can be utilized as an asset in foreign policy.
The implementation of the doctrine can be observed on the Russia’s near abroad policy stretching from Georgia, Moldova to Ukraine and other near abroad states. The signature is quiet the same everywhere: territorial claims, threatening the territorial integrity of neighbors, appealing to the Russian speaking population, support of local separatists, bribing local political, military and business elite and so on.
A premise is quite obvious; the conflicts are artificially created and aggravated by Russian own near abroad policy towards its neighbors by acting as “peacekeeper” of the region.
In addition to his Doctrine, Karaganov has advocated for a united Sino-Russian strategy to unify a Eurasian bloc ; hence also the approximation of positions in recent times between Russia and China.
More than ever, Democracy as we know it is in danger from the advances of Autocracy and the extremisms of the Radical Right and at this moment we are no longer talking only about ideological threats but real threats to the institutions of democracy; like what happened in America on January 6th with the Capitol invasion and the attempt to change the electoral result.
On the other hand this latent conflict between Russia and the West took on other proportions with this recent threat along the Ukrainian border and invasion, and even if a consensus is reached diplomatically, Europe and the World will no longer be the same.
We will have to understand and accept that, after all, the threat is very real and that the all world does not live only on good intentions !
___________________________________________________
Depois de ao longo dos anos ter instituído um governo autocrático na Rússia em que toda liberdade de expressão é proibida e seus defensores são perseguidos, presos ou assassinados, Putin agora volta-se para a Europa tentando impor sua visão hegemônica do mundo.
Através de uma guerra híbrida com ataques cibernéticos e campanhas de interferência/desinformação política nas eleições e no apoio a partidos da direita radical ou de extrema direita, tenta dividir a Europa e a NATO para enfraquecer o Ocidente.
A tentativa de anexação da Crimeia e as ameaças de Putin de usar a força contra outras partes da Ucrânia revelam uma política internacional generalizada da Federação Russa chamada de “Doutrina de Karaganov” pelo nome de seu autor Sergey Karaganov. A doutrina é um trunfo essencial para entender a ideologia russa, ferramentas de política externa contra vizinhos e o que é o verdadeiro "soft power" de influência.
Seguindo as teorias de Sergey Karaganov de que os falantes de russo, que vivem em territórios não russos, podem ser utilizados como um trunfo na política externa.
A implementação da doutrina pode ser observada na política externa da Rússia, que se estende da Geórgia, Moldávia à Ucrânia e outros estados próximos ao Ocidente. A assinatura é a mesma em todos os lugares: reivindicações territoriais, ameaçando a integridade territorial dos vizinhos, apelando para a população de língua russa, apoio a separatistas locais, subornando a elite política, militar e empresarial local e assim por diante.
Uma premissa é bastante óbvia; os conflitos são criados artificialmente e agravados pela própria política externa russa em relação aos seus vizinhos, agindo depois como “pacificador” da região.
Além de sua Doutrina, Karaganov defendeu uma estratégia sino-russa unida para unificar um bloco eurasiano; daí também a aproximação de posições nos últimos tempos entre a Rússia e a China.
Mais do que nunca, a Democracia como a conhecemos está em perigo com os avanços da Autocracia e os extremismos da Direita Radical e neste momento não estamos falando apenas de ameaças ideológicas, mas ameaças reais às instituições da democracia; como o que aconteceu na América em 6 de janeiro com a invasão do Capitólio e a tentativa de mudar o resultado eleitoral.
Por outro lado este conflito latente entre a Rússia e o Ocidente tomou outras proporções com esta recente ameaça ao longo da fronteira ucraniana e consequente invasão e mesmo que se chegue a um consenso diplomaticamente, a Europa e o Mundo já não serão os mesmos.
Teremos que entender e aceitar que, afinal, a ameaça é muito real e que o mundo todo não vive apenas de boas intenções!
We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the first instant of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace of the Omnipotent God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind, was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin, has been revealed by God, and therefore should firmly and constantly be believed by all the faithful.
—Pope Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus, December 8, 1854
PRAYER TO THE
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
O God, who by the Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son,
we beseech You that,
as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son,
You did preserve Her from all stain,
so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession, to come unto You.
Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
Amen.
