Summary/Abstract: The present article is meant to remind all the readers that international security is in the process of deteriorating as many states would rather resort to confrontation to resolve the existing issues between them than to negotiation or cooperation.It is not the first time when the interstate rivalry “generates extraordinary security concerns anticipating armed conflict”. The tense relations between the West (NATO and EU) and Russia have a negative influence over international relations as well as over regional and global security. The most important situation is the relation of “an eye for an eye” type between different states, a pretty common situation occurred during the Cold War as well as today.
