The Long-Standing World Order ... Feeling the Stress Now

Post-Cold War Order Is Breaking Down (Fyodor Lukyanov) from the Moscow Times [in English]
"The bitter feud in Ukraine is only one manifestation of how the world order is falling apart. The Islamic State is an even more striking example. It is not only challenging the established order in the Middle East by erasing borders, but is also exhibiting an increasingly savage cruelty, frightening its opponents with horrific public executions. In general, a medieval spirit reigns, with its internecine wars and in which the only great strategy, if one exists at all, is to indulge the passion for blood."
