ABSTRACT

The world is divided into four parts that can be used for analysis: there is a North-South divide and an East-West divide. A North-centered conflict would be tremendously advantageous for the South. As a possible result, the Indonesians, once colonized by the Dutch, might one day send boats and planes equipped with Geiger counters to the smoldering ruins of the North, to explore whether there existed some trading opportunities that could be made use of. So for the first conflict: Instead of the superiority of 1945, the United States enjoys a kind of deadly parity with the Second World. The second conflict is with the Third World. The Second World takes advantage of the situation in order to obtain strategic benefits. The First World then tries to see it only as a challenge coming from the Second World and in that way fails to see what is really happening.
