International Relations

[JAG]

Thanks for the link. You're right, a waste of time reading it.

To ascribe one way to how all countries view the world throughout the span of history is pointless and wildely inaccurate: some view wars as bad, others actively want them, others want them if the benefits outweigh the risks - and this is only one tiny factor on how internatinal relations are formed.

The theories do very much work on basic principles and the whole global infrastructure, they are complex and do require detailed studying - hence the Uni degree for it - but believe it or not, they are pretty good theories which many people subscribe to. To say these theories make no sense, would be like saying Socialism or Conservatism, in principle will never work because individual countries are different and the history of nations has been so different, etc.
