Hegemony or balance of power? What the wars of ancient China teach us
The historian A.J.P. Taylor wrote one of the most powerful openings of any book. “In the state of nature which Hobbes imagined, violence was the only law, and life was ‘nasty brutish and short’,” he wrote in The Struggle for Mastery in Europe, 1848-1918.
“Though individuals never lived in this state of nature, the Great Powers of Europe have always done so. Sovereign states have distinguished European civilisation, at any rate since the end of the fifteenth century. Each individual state in…

Paul Pelosi charged with hit-and-run after California crash
Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been charged with a misdemeanor hit-and-run following a collision with a parked vehicle.
The 86-year-old was driving his brown convertible in Yountville, California, on July 3 when he allegedly struck a legally parked car on the side of the road. According to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, he briefly stopped before driving away from the scene.
No injuries were reported, and the parked car was unoccupied. Authorities confirmed Pelosi did not have alcohol in his system at the time.
Napa County prosecutors announced Friday that Pelosi faces a misdemeanor charge for violating state law, which mandates drivers involved in property damage accidents to stop and exchange information. Additionally, he was charged with an infraction for making an unlawful turn.

Several businesses pulled out of the scheme days later, saying they…
Appeals court rules New Jersey assault weapons ban unconstitutional
A federal appeals court has delivered a significant blow to New Jersey's gun control measures, ruling Friday that the state's prohibitions on assault firearms and magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds are unconstitutional.
This landmark decision marks the first time a federal appeals court has invalidated a state ban on such weapons, arriving as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to review whether similar bans on semi-automatic rifles infringe upon the Second Amendment.
The ruling also stands in contrast to a decision just last week, where a different federal appeals court upheld Illinois' ban on semi-automatic weapons.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' judgment in the New Jersey case goes further than a July 2024 ruling by a federal judge. That earlier decision had only deemed the state's ban on AR-15s unconstitutional, while upholding the provision barring larger magazines.
The ruling also stands in contrast to a decision just last week, where..
