Англосфера
В австралийском аналитическом издании The Interpreter комментарий по поводу французского фиаско. Автор обращает внимание на то, как снова на первый план в стратегической картине мира выходит именно фактор англофонии. Самые надёжные союзники США - те, кто говорят с ними на одном языке. Это вроде бы странно в глобальном мире, а вот поди ж ты. Culture matters.
The idea of the Anglosphere as something more than a bunch of people who speak the same language is widely mocked by Anglophones themselves. But to outsiders, and to the French in particular, it is a simple and obvious reality. What is the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, after all, but an alliance of “the Anglo-Saxon powers,” so much so that it excludes countries such as France and Japan while including New Zealand, which isn’t a power at all?
