Nick Demos — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 17:01:45 +0000

The new Chinese Silk Routes or Belt and Road Initiative is China’s free Trade approach to Global Trade as an emerging Global Superpower.
China invests massively to access the global markets.
China encounters many obstacles and here we indicate some of the solutions.
The presentation was given in 2018 but amazingly enough is still valid.

On Superpower Economies in 2023

Nick Demos — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 18:44:22 +0000

Comparing the U.S. and Chinese economies in 2023 was vital because it marked a critical post-pandemic turning point where China’s slower-than-expected recovery clashed with unexpected U.S. economic resilience, reshaping global growth and trade dynamics.

On Strategic Understanding

Nick Demos — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 18:45:50 +0000

When people are challenged, they react in one of two ways:
a) They runaway – “Flight reflex” (Running away from challenges)
b) They fight back (attack) – “Fight reflex” (getting into battles)

Sun Tzu advises us neither flight nor fight. But ride the “magic of positioning”. Because success comes from using your position.

Strategically – both victory and defeat are similar. Each puts you in a new position.
When you win, you realize the real challenge just starts…
When you fail, the knowledge you gain gives you a competitive advantage and tenacity…

On Military Leadership

Nick Demos — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 09:07:01 +0000

“We piously presume that peace is the norm and war, an almost unthinkable, highly regrettable exception.”
“We fight wars to end all wars and to make the world safe for democracy. These are the lies we tell ourselves.”
Paul A. Rahe, Sparta’s First Attic War

On Cycles Περί Κυκλικότητας

Nick Demos — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 17:58:52 +0000

Σχεδόν κάθε 26,000 χρόνια γίνεται μια ολοκληρωμένη εισπνοή-εκπνοή μέσα στο σύμπαν μας, με απροσδιόριστες επιπτώσεις για τους αστερισμούς, τον ήλιο και τους γύρω πλανήτες, την γη, των ανθρώπων και κατά συνέπεια των κοινωνιών μας. Πρόκειται για τη μεγάλη παλμοδόνηση ή το μεγάλο κύμα που δοκιμάζει τους κόσμους μας, και με την εισπνοή του συσπειρώνει, ρικνώνει τους αστερισμούς και με την εκπνοή του αραιώνει και απομακρύνει τους αστερισμούς.

Roughly every 26,000 years, a complete inhalation and exhalation occur within our universe, bringing about profound consequences for the constellations, the Sun and surrounding planets, the Earth, humanity, and—by extension—our societies. This is the great pulsation—or the great wave—that tests our worlds; its inhalation causes the constellations to contract and draw inward, while its exhalation causes them to disperse and drift apart.

The Future of Hellenism

Nick Demos — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 17:06:25 +0000

Ακολουθούντας τον Πλάτωνα, τον Νίτσε, τον ιστορικό Toynbee, και τους Στωικούς, που πιστεύαν ότι:

Η Ιστορία έχει περιοδικότητα
Η Ιστορία είναι ρυθμική και κυκλική
Η Ιστορία & η ανθρώπινη ψυχολογία προκαθορίζει την επιστροφή των ιστορικών γεγονότων
Η εμπειρία και μάθηση από το παρελθόν μπορεί να μας διδάξει για το μέλλον

Προσπαθώ να αποκωδικοποιήσω και να αποκρυπτογραφήσω τα μυστικά της Ιστορίας και να προβλέψω το μέλλον του Ελληνισμού.

Space, Cyberspace and Cybersecurity

Nick Demos — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 18:16:05 +0000

Space, Cyberspace and Cybersecurity have Individual Shared Responsibility and Social Wellbeing side effects. Moreover, the convergence of space and cyber is an evolving threat landscape. Cyberspace and space are both new national security frontiers that blur traditional ideas about borders, sovereignty, and defense strategy. Both also share a history of having started as intelligence activities rather than as war fighting domains, and both remain closely linked to their intelligence origins.

The consequences of the US gradual & selective withdrawal, as a global policeman, during the upcoming decades, will bring about drastic changes to the geostrategic equilibria in many regions. Many nations will face immeasurable challenges but three countries should be very vigilant….Taiwan, Israel and Greenland…
