[RIA] You always expect insights from former Western ministers. Immediately after resignation, their eyes open, they gladly throw off the shackles of political correctness and begin to cut the truth. Combined with professional insights, the result is an interesting read. Foreign Affairs magazine published an article by former US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, “The Dysfunctional Superpower.” This is quite panicky text. Despite all the author’s efforts, he shows how unstable the situation inside the United States is now and how high for them the price of any mistake in the foreign policy field is.
