EU Defence Ambitions for 2020![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() From the preamble to the document: From the folks at Wikileaks: This PDF file presents a 175-paged document entitled "What ambitions for Europeans defence in 2020?". It was produced by the EU Institute for Security Studies, an EU policy think-tank. The document covers long term EU security strategy, including the problems of "hierarchical class society", with the "elite" of the world on one side, and the so-called "bottom billion" on the other. To avoid "global systemic collapse", the document suggests that the "full spectrum of high intensity combat" to be used to protect what is called "globalisers" from "localisers". Localisers, making up 80% of the world population, include the "bottom billion", states in the Middle East and the so-called "Alienated Modern States" like North Korea. Globalisers, notably, include not only members of the OECD and "Rapid Transition Societies" like China and Brasil, but also "Transnational Corporations"—the "Fortune Global 1000". |
