"At one point we may see a grand reckoning between the two sides, the Sea Power and the Land Power. The final outcome is by no means certain. The Sea Power seeks to be a monolith, the only and central place of decision making in the world. The Land Power seeks to preserve its independent existence and to build a world where decisions are made in co-operative manner by a number of power centers. So the question becomes, will the Sea Power find it in itself to graciously concede space to Land Power, to a multipolar reality, or will they try to “take it all” and thereby commit suicide, taking much of the Western World down with it." http://www.hasslberger.com...
