The Cold War

The Korean defense industry gained significant results since it had been launched in the 1970's with strong support of the government. However, in the early 1980's, as the international and domestic security environment underwent changes after the Cold War and economic growth became an urgent national objective, the civilian industry began to take priority over the defense industry. Accordingly, the Korean defense industry suffered a deep depression in the middle of 1980's and this trend has continued into the 1990's. Although some people have raised voices about the importance of reviving the defense industry, it still not perceived as an urgent part of the nation to be reactivated. Generally, the defense industry lacks political and systematic support.

Subject Military prospects. Significance Haiti ended on July 25 a week-long drive for 500 recruits to fill the ranks of its newly resurrected military. The revival of the country’s army, the functions of which will largely relate to anti-smuggling and disaster relief operations, comes in the context of the withdrawal of a long-standing UN peacekeeping force in October. The government argues that the new force will be necessary to provide security in the UN’s absence. However, weak oversight mechanisms, widespread corruption and a long history of military intervention in Haitian politics, mean that the force is more likely to disrupt than improve the domestic security environment. Impacts The force’s size and lack of experience will limit its effectiveness in dealing with smuggling and disaster relief operations. Haitian army patrols along the Dominican border will increase the risk of perceived smugglers and migrants being shot. The creation of an army will divert funds and personnel away from the country’s already underperforming police force.

The purpose of the article is to describe the changes NATO undergoing in response to the challenges of our time. Today NATO, as a key element of European and Euro-Atlantic security, is adapting to changes in the modern security environment by increasing its readiness and ability to respond to any threat. Adaptation measures include the components required to ensure that the Alliance can fully address the security challenges it might face. Responsiveness NATO Response Force enhanced by developing force packages that are able to move rapidly and respond to potential challenges and threats. As part of it, was established a Very High Readiness Joint Task Force, a new Allied joint force that deploy within a few days to respond to challenges that arise, particularly at the periphery of NATO’s territory. NATO emphasizes, that cyber defence is part of NATO’s core task of collective defence. A decision as to when a cyber attack would lead to the invocation of Article 5 would be taken by the North Atlantic Council on a case-by-case basis. Cooperation with NATO already contributes to the implementation of national security and defense in state policy. At the same time, taking into account that all decision-making in NATO based on consensus, Ukraine’s membership in the Alliance quite vague perspective. In such circumstances, in Ukraine you often can hear the idea of announcement of a neutral status. It is worth reminding that non-aligned status did not save Ukraine from Russian aggression. Neutral status will not accomplish it either. All talks about neutrality and the impossibility of Ukraine joining NATO are nothing but manipulations, as well as recognition of the Ukrainian territory as Russian Federation area of influence (this country seeks to sabotage the Euro-Atlantic movement of Ukraine). Think about it, Moldova’s Neutrality is enshrined in the country’s Constitution since 1994. However, this did not help Moldova to restore its territorial integrity and to force Russia to withdraw its troops and armaments from Transnistria.

Military Modernization

The longstanding unresolved issue of Kashmir serves as a nuclear flashpoint between India and Pakistan. Since 2019, the prevalent security environment of the region has dominated the discourse surrounding the regional and global security architecture. India’s policies during the Pulwama-Balakot crisis and the revocation of Kashmir’s constitutional status demonstrate the country’s intentions of dominating the escalation ladder in the region and marginalizing the muslim community of Kashmir. Because of the conventional disparity in South Asia where India is big interms of size, economy and military build-up, Pakistan has been further threatened by India’s aggressive policies and provocative military modernization. Consequently, Pakistan may be compelled to further revisit its nuclear threshold level to overcome India’s aggression.
