Definițiile cuvintelor sunt absolut esențiale, deoarece dacă nu înțelegem exact și precis ce înseamnă cuvintele, nu putem comunica între noi.

The Kremlin Will Eventually Tire of Its Reliance on China
As Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine drags on and realigns global geopolitics, the United States needs to review and revise its long-term strategy toward Russia.
