COLD WAR (INTRODUCTION: (DEFINING FEATURES OF COLD WAR: (IT REMAINED COLD…

- - - - HAD NUCLEAR BALANCE GOT OFFSET IT WOULD HAVE LED TO CATASTROHE WW-III
      - BUT IT WAS NOT ALL COLD:
        
        THERE WERE COLD AND WARM PHASES
        LIKE PROXY WARS IN 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES
    - - AS TACTICALLY THEY MAY COME TOGETHER BUT STRATEGICALLY THEY ARE CONTENDORS
- - - - US FORIGN POLICY IS NOT BASED ON A RHETORIC BUT A LONG TERM GEOPOLITICAL GOAL
    - - TERM WAS 1ST USED BU NEW YORK JOURNALIST IN NEW YORK: JOHN-O -SULIVAN IN 1844
    - - ACC. TO THIS DOCTRINE: USA IS CHOOSEN BY GOD FOR A DIVINE MISSION : FOR EXPANSION OF TERRITORIES OF LIBERTY
      - IT IS A MANIFEST DESTINY BECOZ IT HAS PROVEN AGAIN AND AGAIN
        
        USA HAS NEVER LOST A WAR , AND LOST BECOZ IT DIDN'T WANT TO WIN
      - SOURCE OF STRENGTH OF USA:
        
        COMES FROM ITS LOCATION, RESORCES, ITS TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT
        THUS USA IS CONSIDERED AS 2000 POUND GORILLA
        
        IT MEANS A SHOCK THAT CAN DEVASTATE ANY OHER COUNTRY CANBE EASILY ABSORBED BY USA
    - - US CONCERNED ABOUT SECURITY OF LAND AND PEOPLE
        AND ANY COUNTRY THAT CAN MILITARILY CHALLENGE TO US MILITARY SECURITY IT IS RUSSIA+
      - IT IS NOT USA'S INTEREST THAT MORE NO. OF STATE ACCQUIRE NUCLEAR CAPACITIES
      - TO CONTROL WORLD TRADE IT IS NECESSARY FOR US TO MAINTAIN ITS HEGEMONY ON OCEANS
    - - USA KNOW NO SINGLE COUNTRY CAN MILITARILY CHALLENGE USA EXCEPT RUSSIA
        BUT RUSSIA WILL NOT BE FOOLISH TO START THE WAR
      - US HEGEMONY CAN ONLY BE CHALLENGED
        WHEN OTHER COUNTRIES PURSUE POLICY OF BALANCING
        
        SO IDEA OF USA IS NOT TO ALLOW:
        RUSSIA AND EU NOT TO COME TOGETHER
        ISLAMIC COUNTRIES TO COME TOGETHER
        CHINA, JAPAN, INDIA, RUSSIA TO COME TOGETHER
        
        SIMILARLY A REGIONAL HEGEMON CAN BE IRRITANT FOR USA
        
        SO USA CHECK HEGEMON BY SUPPORTING WEAKER PARTY:
        POLICY OF BAITH AND BLOODSHEDDING
        LIKE USING INDIS AND JAPAN AGAINST RISE OF CHINA
        SAUDI ARABIS TO BALANCE IRAN
        
        ALSO USA TEND TO CREATE INSTABILITY AROUND THE REGIONAL HEGEMON SO THAT THEY REMAIN ENGAGE:
        BUCKPASSING
    - - RUSSIA:
        
        POLICY TO STOP RUSSIA GAINING LOST SOVIENT STATUS
      - CHINA:
        
        USA HAS TRIED TO MAINTAIN ITS STAY CHINA'S NEIGHBOURHOOD: US PRESENCE IN AFGANISTAN AND SYRIA
      - ISLAMIC COUNTRIES:(MIDDLE EAST)
        
        US OBJECTIVBE HERRE IS PREVENT EMERGENCE OF SOLIDARITY IN THIS REGION
        AND KEEP IT UNSTABLE
        
        US DOES THIS BY EXPLOITING SHIA -SUNNI DIVIDE... EARLIER IT WAS IRAQ NOW IT IS SYRIA
        OR SAUDI VS IRAN
        
        ALSO UNSTABLE MIDDLE EAST WILL KEEP EUROPE AND RUSSIA ENGAGED
- - - - RUUSSIA SUFFERS FROM REVENGE OF GEOGRAPHY
        
        RUSSIA DOESN'T HAVE NATURAL DEFENSE
        
        RUSSIA ALWAYS FACED INVASIONS
        
        RUSSIA HAS BEEN BUILDING EMPIRE.. TO CREATE A BUFFER ZONE FOR PROTECTION OF ITS CORE INTEREST
      - WHAT THE PROB:?
        
        RUSSIA NEIGHNOURHOOD POLICY: SCORCHED EARTH POLICY
        
        DESTRUCTION OF NEIGHBOURHOOD HABITIATION, AGRICULTURE.. TO INTERUPTT SUPPLIES TO FOREIGN ARMIES
        
        FOR RUSSIA IS SAID THAT BEAR'S HUG IS NOT CORMORTABLE
        
        STALIN ALSO ADOPTED POLICYOF SALAMI TACTICS: MEANING SLICING OPPOSITION ONE BY ONE
    - - HELD THAT COMMUNISM IS NOT SECURE AS SURROUNDED BY CAPITALIST STATE... HENCE SUGGESTED EXPANSION OF COMMUNISM
    - - FAILED TO ASURE WEST ... CHANGED ITS POLICY FROM SOCIALISM IN COUNTRY(TO SECURE ITS REGIME)
        TO ESTD. OF A BODY COMINFORM: FOR EXPANSION OF COMMUNISM
