Watching her stroll into my workplace in an impossibly tiny skirt and too-tight white shirt awakened the beast inside me. I've fought long and hard to keep myself in check, but something about my best friend's little girl has me hot and bothered.Every inch of her draws me in like a Venus Flytrap, waiting to snap.

美国及联盟事实上无法阻止，延迟，或逆转中国的统一台湾的行动。在2026年启动这一行动，对中国是妥当的时机。美国联盟也不能不对中国的行动作出反应。不对此做出反应就是政治自杀。错误的应对方案同样也带来自杀结果的结果。美国的应对方案理论上有事前方案和事后方案两个组共6种工具包。包括事前和谈方案，事前阻遏方案；事后全面政治制裁；全面政治制裁加经济制裁；政治制裁加靖绥军事方案，和全面整体战争方案。总体上很难看到美国能从应对中国的行动中获益，美国（联盟）选择它的应对方案的出发点就是止损。阻止中国快速地扩张政治收益，地缘收益，和经济收益。但是对美国集团最理想的应对方案往往没有实施的机会。比较容易实施的方案集中于事后反应方案组中。全面政治制裁应当是各应对方案的基础配置。经济制裁方案较军事方案的风险级别低，易于试探边界。但是缺乏军事行动的任何方案都难以安抚集团内部的民意，难以阻吓其它的反叛力量，难以有效阻止中国的扩张步伐。军事反应方案确实能增加政治得分，但是其风险是显而易见的。如果中国与美国集团双方的政客能有效地将军事行动约束在'靖绥军事方案'之内，那么通过军事对峙，让美欧洲集团民意认识到'无法通过军事行动战胜敌人'后，再启动全面的谈判，双方达成妥协的机率就相当大。但是军事行动一旦开启，滑向高强度冲突甚至全面整体战争的机率相当大。复杂的应对方案将带来更复杂的结局。一旦进入中高响应级别的战争，美国退出东亚的概率非常高。更高的战争响应级别，可能带来更多变数。包括欧洲全面性的边界游动进程的启动，加速，和加剧；俄罗斯向L1线推进；欧洲现在权力秩序的解构与重组；涉及欧洲核区及周边区域的大混乱；战后选择G2， G3， 或G4体制的不确定，等等。在中国的'防守型进攻策略'面前，美国集团战胜中国（集团）的机率相当渺小。但中国（集团）虽然有解构欧洲秩序和美国主导的帝国秩序的潜力，但并没有从国家层面战胜美国的能力与机会。中国可能也没有利用这些潜力的主动性。美国并非完全没有战胜中国的机会。突破帝国秩序的基本规则，成功实施事前阻遏方案是其一。但是其终点的不可控，是阻止这一方案实施的更大阻力。早期快速地启动核战争，和全面整体战争失利后启动核战争，都会给美国集团带来军事胜利的可能性。一旦西方的民意认定这是一种可能性时，西方政客极难阻止核装置应于战争。这一事实注定中国必须主要地承担阻止核战争的责任。构成对西方的全面核威慑能力是中国不得不承担的责任。在复杂的应对过程中，欧洲对中美冲突的态度，将对中国将形成巨大压力。同时也将对整个欧洲的前景带来巨大的不确定性。美国应对方案的复杂性，将增加世界局势的不确定性。日本，韩国，菲律宾，将在中国与美国的军事冲突的不同阶段，发挥不同的作用并带来不同的影响。中国的哲学逻辑与美国反应方案的互动，将影响全面战争后形成G2，G3，或者G4体制的趋势。台湾是这一系列程序中最无力的参与方。印度不具备调动中国的政治资源与军事资源的能力。越南有调动中国政治资源与军事资源的能力。越南也可能会显示这个能力，但越南大概率不会介入中美的军事冲突。G2已经是一种存在的事实。2026年中国的统一行动，将G2秩序的正式运行。如果美国不愿意选择

Όλα τα ποιήματα αυτής της ποιητικής συλλογής είναι σαν τα κλαδιά ενός δένδρου. Φαίνονται μεν αυτόνομα και ανεξάρτητα μεταξύ τους, αλλά συνθέτουν μια συνεκτική και ενιαία μορφή, νοηματοδοτώντας το ένα το άλλο. Έχουν σαν κορμό, την κοινή τους αφετηρία, την πένα της Μαρίας Μπονάτσου και τροφοδοτούνται από τις ίδιες ρίζες. Τρέφονται από το φως της Ορθόδοξης Χριστιανικής Πίστης και το δροσερό ποτάμι της οικογενειακής ζωής, ενώ φυτρώνουν στο έφορο χώμα της ελληνικής υπαίθρου και συγκεκριμένα του πανέμορφου Ξυλοκαστρού του νομού Κορινθίας. Το μεγάλο κουβάρι των ριζών αυτού του δέντρου, που τρέφει το δέντρο-ποιητή και τα κλαδιά-ποιήματα δεν είναι άλλο από την αγάπη.

Мой мир перевернулся с ног на голову в одно мгновение, я даже глазом не успела моргнуть. Ещё вчера была просто археологом и верила только фактам. А сегодня эти факты упорно твердят, что энергетические вампиры с природными духами существуют! Но вот как принять, что сама я - Хранитель!Осталось только понять хранитель чего? И не только это как избавиться от вампира, прилипшего ко мне как пиявка и что делать с Повелителем Ветров, ставшим моим мужем, спасая меня от очередной неприятности...Все ответы, кажется, лежат в моём прошлом и все, кого считала друзьями, могут оказаться совсем не друзьями...
Мій світ перевернувся до гори дриґом в одну мить, я навіть оком не встигла моргнути. Ще вчора була просто археологом і вірила тільки фактам. А сьогодні ці факти вперто твердять, що енергетичні вампіри з природними духами існують! Але от як прийняти, що сама я - Хранитель!Залишилося тільки зрозуміти хранитель чого? І не тільки це як позбутися вампіра, що прилип до мене як п'явка, і що робити з Володарем Вітрів, який став моїм чоловіком, рятуючи мене від чергової неприємності...Усі відповіді, здається, лежать у моєму минулому і всі, кого вважала друзями, можуть виявитися зовсім не друзями...
Σε έναν κόσμο όπου το πεπρωμένο της ανθρωπότητας ρίχνεται σε μια δίνη κοσμικών προκλήσεων, η Μάγια εμφανίζεται ως μια εξαιρετική φιγούρα. Με ακλόνητο θάρρος και αδάμαστο πνεύμα, αντιμετωπίζει το σκοτάδι που απειλεί να καταβροχθίσει τη Γη.Στο ζοφερό σκηνικό ενός ξεχασμένου ήλιου, η Μάγια και ο πατέρας της επιλέγουν να παραμείνουν και να πολεμήσουν την επικείμενη καταστροφή. Καθώς η ανθρωπότητα αναζητά καταφύγιο σε ένα νέο σπίτι ανάμεσα στα αστέρια, αφοσιώνονται στην ανάπτυξη του Μηχανοποιημένου Ήλιου, μιας τεχνολογικής δημιουργίας που μπορεί να φέρει το φως πίσω στη Γη.Ο ξαφνικός θάνατος του πατέρα της αφήνει τη Μάγια μόνη αλλά όχι απογοητευμένη.
