because history between russia and ukraine is reaching breaking point here insist on lower prices will not because as the existing contracts are fair this has the potential to degenerate into another gas war which could result in supply disruptions to europe but if that were to happen that's a little schoolkid as energy center warns it could be the end of ukraine's role as a transit nation. a new conflict between russia and ukraine will be the last confortable ukraine as a transit countries or so after that moment got russia will invest all the money necessary to build south stream the next line north three maybe something else just off where you are great and i'm sure that your premium polluted asians are also realizing peace but so far these very short term games are much more important that they don't want to look at even for the next two three years i'm not speaking about ten twenty zero nevertheless try to common sense of where we. play its role by the

could undermine confidence and we could have looked over a crash so we're very vulnerable to an october crash this year more than any other year and in the last ten years matters next i'll see we all have a lot still so that. coming. from new year is when you look for nuclear winter in school. discipline measured in darren's. when your brain is most.

the war has changed i mentioned the war has changed suppose in a practical and in a motivational sense. more than anything else the impulses for war have changed rather more is one of the most difficult concepts to define today more than ever because they are still classified as using time periods such as from one thousand and fifteen from eighteen eighteen and some one hundred forty to mention forty five thala days there's a war and people have ignored it when it started but what is most worrying is not the fact that it's uncertain when it will end some of the real problem is that it is not even known if it is going to come to an. absolute will be won with no soldiers and troops will still exist but it will be an invisible illo.

thanks . the war has evolved substantially interventional terms of where centuries and millennia the war has been by dimensional look at what is being fought on the mainland and in the sea the most awful of them are the first gap in the war evolution can be compared to a few. evolution of man assume the upright position of the upright position in the evolution is the vertical position of the conflict when the airplane became a weapon it starts to become possible to materially turn the whole battle dynamic upside down back in the day the people had to leave home to go to war it was like a football match in a stadium but now a days that people play football in the streets the war is widespread. we don't need to wait for sarajevo and for someone to get close to a car to start opening fire. we just need someone clicking with the mouse able to

give the first of the impulses and make it begin as if it was a line of dominoes so these pieces fall one over the other until the end of the whole chain feel. we just have to think of the energy supply finance communications and the transport system that happens in a while it will be possible to apply it to the whole planet. through let's think for a while back since nine eleven it was a terrorist attack we can all agree on this. call it a terrorist attack we were fair to the purpose of the motivation but if we look deeply into it took out an act of war highly asymmetrical because no one weapons

have been used to write a column toasters because we are so familiar with the airliners and to see them and to catch them to us they're like a household appliance the same as a toaster. these household appliances these toasters been used to come weapons. over to. thousand eight hundred casualties at present i think that there are around seventy thousand workers on the health club oratory is affected by cancer just in the municipality of manhattan olcott additionally we have over one hundred fifty thousand citizens to buy different illnesses such as a never ending. a long cancer leukemia she had me at length on and on the sickness since. it. kept i hope

that the person that calls that spirit will realize it all to calm of his actions. and the collapse of two skyscrapers laws the explosion of two airplanes or the case of the mainly composed of heaven metal and the dust heap the generations from these explosions. to bludge the facts of the original explosion. they generated a pollutant and new york citizens are still suffering because of it. when the first airplane hit the first twin tower i was in a military environment he got a high command place. as a matter of fact this first attack immediately followed by the second one was being seen as the beginning of world war three. i'm not talking about rational thoughts

it was the instinctive response yes it was something like of events of fear not an emerging fear that found its ounce or in the form of a stereotype of world war three. for if it ever happens the world war three will probably not be a clash between two armies of the class or to take no. ologies. perhaps world war three has already begun ga and we didn't even notice it because it's not a traditional war on the battle ground. company will let's start by saying that by my reckoning this is the fourth war not the third like we already had a third conflict and we call it the cold war. in my opinion the fourth world war is already in progress but it isn't fought with the aid of weapons it is a mistake to fight using weapons if you always lose all the participants looms. am

especially now we have such powerful weapons that could be dragged into a foolish war with hundreds of thousands of casualties this is the main risk we are playing we are assuming enormous risks and we aren't even aware of it as it would be going to be. bad. that is you clear weapons have surely marked a strong revolution in both military and security affairs and in fisa for their creation there had always been a shortage of firepower in relation to the wishes of stretchy just while the nuclear weapons provided fire part greater than any political purpose rationally prosecutable. there for nuclear weapons specially during the cold war most of the known war weapons. what is happening

now adays is the normality there is no order a great change with a continuous redefinition of the international order it can lead to unexpected results a redefinition of new roles and a change where we ignore what is useful what is useless and what is harmful the new subjects are emerging almost every day and it is unknown if these subjects will be good or evil. right you just have to think about the international finance and so yesterday we thought that that would have been the universal solution to all the problems you know your as now has become one of the enemies to fight against. thank you. thank you thank you. what has changed in the war concept is not just its definition or its idea the war changed in the way it is

fault and in its motivations. more than anything else what has changed is the impulses for war. since the peace of westphalia the war had finally become an affair between sovereign states now a days it is not a war or a confrontation between sovereign states anymore going to it is a confrontation between wills between different interests. not just between organizations but also between organizations. what has modified the concept of war from the traditional one to the current one is the fall of the agreement established during the westphalian treaty. the treaty implied wars are an affair between states when a country was defeated on the battlefield except in the political defeat and turned into an ally of the winner. nowadays the war is not an affair between states

anymore because it became more expensive and the prophets had reduced. can present it depends on the relative productiveness of the different economies in other terms on the competitiveness of the different countries taking the system. in an era where the states lose power we see on the other hand the growth of the corporations it is easy to think of the american corporations because they are the most powerful ones if we could also talk about the swiss ones that aren't under the spotlight as much as the americans. but they still exist they are strong and can determine the future of the whole world. because they have more powerful means than

the state's. economic and aren't subject to a government anymore back in the day some governments had their own corporations today it's not like that anymore today the corporations own the states they have states pay their commands. there are no words of connection between the economic and the political power where the economic power or at least the people believe it . of the state as an institution. now adays the state is a mere agents that provide services who is intended to be the user of the services . a part of them are for the citizens good most of them are intended for the people that assume economic power. nowadays in this particular historical

context economic power is the only real power in. the dimension of the war is symbolic. as we said that it's a clash between different wills in order to pursue interests. who manages the interests and manages the war. the subject that manages the interests is not the state any more. hugo chavez in venezuela believes that a statesman is the one that manages the state. if that is true he is the last one left. in the rest of the world we see that strong economic interests develop connections with the state organization we aren't talking about the whole concept of multinational company. fairly multinational company with a corporation made of people from different states here we are talking about

corporations that can influence several states to have states at their disposal. if you like it's not a symphony that we have to think that in italy we just experienced a case that can be key to understanding what a corporation is and what a state is if it is true but the head of the italian military secret service says the phones under the control of an italian corporation had while i'm not going to mention the name of this corporation but it is easy to figure out ok and this is symbolic of the loss of the importance of the state. status of the state has changed since it lost almost all its program of soldiers here because the void is always filled by something that is why the corporations are progressively taking the place of the states. in american comic books and movies because the theme of a world led by the corporations is nothing new. as the state is going to withdraw

even in that which concerns military and intelligence affairs corporations will be progressive be more capable of producing events which events that can result in a war after all and the last wars fought in the middle east the importance of troops that back in the day would have been called mercenaries and at present are called contractors is evident sort of but where nowadays the war really has an asymmetrical dimension is what i mean is that war is not a clash between two different armies. it is more a clash between two different wills to a certain idea or to deny something from the ahonen assertion and deny. are nowadays the inputs for the war. perhaps they may experience some interruptions

to a large extent they carry on being the same wars. we have for free so nowadays there are three different approaches to war three different types of war which are firstly there is the classic war with an open frontal clash between two armies and so on. secondly there is the stabilisation in destabilization war between countries with one of the opponents attempting to stabilize a country or an area and the other one doing the opposite of destabilizing. and the third is the concept of war against terrorism a concept introduced in the last few years by the us government and the broadly classical war scenario such as the iraq invasion which is the proof of the intimate connections between these three different types of war backlash. in the fight against terrorism the relation between the attacker and the defender is neither

equal nor similar trickle it is unclear who is attacking and who is defending all the boundaries ethical spatial temporal and technological have vanished. nowadays an opponent using archaic tools like the taliban in afghanistan can seriously harm super advanced forces and this is really happening now to us british and even the tally and troops in that scenario. for weakness in the fight against terrorism and says the fact that the terrorists especially the suicide bombers are ready to die while we aren't could change it to this fact we already stored in a losing position. that we never saw. let's take a person that is not afraid of dying and another one that maybe is part of

a voluntary military service because he needs a better wage a person that went back home surrounded by comforts and another one that isn't scared of dying because he doesn't have anything to lose again a person with a strong ideology and another one considering the battle as an ordinary job well in the physical clash begins one of them will surely experience more troubles the sequel will mean. not only different motivations different technologies different tools but also a different idea of what the war is to make this phenomenon of the war to be highly on balance. and balance not in favor of the stronger side but in favor of who has less to lose.

because let me keep. does not need to exist because we are using these terms in a negative way reinforcing the al qaeda ideology that if it gives us this products this death products under the al qaeda brand if it works exactly like a supermarket and. agency or any other economic entity that wants to be recognized under that particular brand. of good causes the real damage is not the terrorism itself the real damage comes from us from our fear of terrorism. if you look into the terrorist attacks that we

experienced this may sound incredible but the number of casualties that appeared so great to us is still well below the casualties caused by car accidents during a normal weekend for example. nevertheless the real strong impact comes from people's reaction to terrorism the economic damage the obstacles to our possibility of freely traveling and so on. everything that affects our daily life is damage that we create ourselves but it doesn't come from terrorism cratchit. we are more afraid of the things we are told rather than of the real happenings we progressive leave find out that the most important war is the one made for the media. and they say this or nowadays it's not information warfare limited exclusively to

some professionals would be about how this information warfare is fought by everyone it's this warfare that around the year two thousand lebanese and be israelis used the for the israelis couldn't stand the images broadcast by hezbollah's website and so they decided to shut it down and have been able to rescue those who were calling for help that the hezbollah then decided to repay this with a denial of service attack a block their servers complain. at that point we discovered that the hezbollah have the same capabilities as the israelis they can attack the. you know they can hit the knesset or the bank of israel in a war that could be never ending. one of the principles that are important is to always keep in mind that when we talk about communication the first one to.
