Who would have thought that the asymmetry on the military fields, and not only, will return with vengeance.

Not only the asymmetry has not disappeared, but the term has extended its meanings in our times, and it is now a controversial and complicated fact of life.

There are also controversies when using the term ”asymmetry” in the contemporary political arena. Perhaps even the expected achievements when it comes to the projection of forces away from the respective home bases, may turn out to be doubtful.
