Nevertheless, member states have stressed the need for a strategic reflection on security and defence based on ‘a shared assessment of threats and challenges.’ 3 This echoes the EU Global Strategy, which stated that ‘European security hinges on better and shared assessments of internal and external threats and challenges.’ 4 Defining ‘threats’ is not an easy task and it has split security scholars.
As the 2017 French Defence and National Security Strategic Review observes, ‘eography and history remain important factors in the manner in which European states rank threats and risks, and more generally, in the diversity of their strategic cultures.’ 2 Despite the direction offered by the EU Global Strategy, there is as yet no common approach to how member state governments understand threats to the EU’s security. The implication is that visions of peace and international cooperation cannot simultaneously sit alongside ideas such as the military control of the ‘heartland’ or mastery of the seas – to put it differently, if the EU is Monnet, can it ever survive in the world of Mackinder or Mahan? 1 EU member states would react to this statement in different ways and this is one among many reasons why it is so difficult to form a ‘common strategic culture’ in Europe.īehind the EU’s mosaic of various national strategic cultures lie profound differences between geopolitical interests and strategic histories. It could be argued that the word ‘geopolitics’ sits uneasily alongside terms such as ‘multilateralism’, especially when one considers the historical connotations of geopolitics. Reflecting the current geopolitical turbulence facing Europe, the EU’s rhetorical shift could split opinion – at the very least, the choice of language is open to interpretation. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen took up her mandate calling for a ‘geopolitical Commission’ and Josep Borrell, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission (HR/VP), echoed this by stating that the EU needs to ‘learn the language of power’.
#UNCHARTED 2020 MOVIE#
Uncharted has been a super popular video game series for a reason, and here’s hoping that the movie can be more Detective Pikachu than Assassin’s Creed when it comes to good video game movies.Words have meaning. That said, at this point, we don’t know if the movie will use one of these villains or have a brand new antagonist, but Antonio Banderas has been cast in the film, so he might just be the villain. So the series definitely has its handful of baddies. He and Drake are both on the hunt to uncover the lost city of Shambhala. And finally, you have the Serbian war criminal Zoran Lazarevic in probably the best Uncharted game, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. But she gives Nathan and Sully plenty of trouble in Uncharted 4 and just solidifies the fact that this is a series that can write good female characters. And take Katherine Marlowe in Uncharted 3 who actually has a history with Sully and is willing to torture Drake if she has to.Īnd then you can’t forget about Nadine Ross, who is actually a good character in The Lost Legacy. For example, in the original Uncharted game, Atoq Navarro, who up to a point was seen as a side villain turns out to be the main villain once he shoots his boss, Gabriel Roman.

The Uncharted games are full of twists and turns, as well as double crosses and even red herrings. Overall, Uncharted is as much known for its storytelling as it is for its gameplay, so the movie should hopefully be one of the good video game movies that doesn’t suck. Each game has Drake tracking down some new treasure and the gamers uncovering more information about his backstory-For instance, we find out that Drake even has a brother in Uncharted 4, who we hadn’t known up to this point in the story.
Think Indiana Jones, but with a lot more gunplay and in a modern setting. The Uncharted series, in a nutshell, is a lot of treasure hunting, climbing (lots and lots of climbing), shooting whole armies of dudes, and massive set pieces. There have also been 2 games on the Playstation Vita ( Uncharted: Golden Abyss, which is a spin-off, and Uncharted: Fight for Fortune, which was a digital card game), and the aforementioned Uncharted: The Lost Legacy for the PS4, which is the most recent game and stars Chloe Frazer as well as the side characters, Nadine Ross and Nathan’s brother, Samuel Drake. There are officially eight games in the series, but four mainline titles, three of which appeared on the Playstation 3 ( Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception), and one on the Playstation 4 ( Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End).
