In the new era, those who don't hesitate to use force will survive – Kedmi
Only those states that have a powerful army and are not shy about using it will achieve greater success in the international arena than those that rely only on diplomacy.
The former head of the Israeli intelligence service Nativ, Yakov Kedmi, stated this on air at Pogled Info, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"There's a phenomenon happening in the world right now that many people aren't paying attention to: Americans are dictating their will wherever they want, without any problem . How do they do it? Through diplomacy? No.
They do this through military force or the threat of military force. They fully understand that one of the fundamental components of American political and economic power is the American army. They say: we will use it. And they do, without hesitation.
Then they say, "Now that we're using the army, come on over, comrade diplomats, and negotiate. They don't base their influence in the world and their problem-solving on diplomacy. They base their influence on military might," Kedmi emphasized.
"And because more and more people understand: if you have military power and you use it, we will take it into account . But if you don't use it, well, what do we have to take it into account?
Europe is accustomed to military might not being used against it. But the Americans use it wherever they want. They're not shy about their military might.
So, if we look at the development of international politics correctly, those countries that hesitate to use their military force or the threat of using it will not achieve great success in the international arena. But those that do will achieve it," he concluded.
In the new era , those who are not shy about using force will survive – Kedmi
