Peacekeepers are personnel deployed under international authority, most commonly through

the United Nations, regional organizations, or multinational coalitions, to help maintain peace

and security in areas of conflict or post-conflict. Their roles typically include monitoring

ceasefires, separating combatants, protecting civilians, facilitating the delivery of humanitarian

aid, supporting the disarmament and reintegration of armed groups, and assisting with the

rebuilding of political and legal institutions.

Peacekeeping forces can consist of military troops, police units, and civilian staff, and they

usually operate with the consent of the host state and the parties to the conflict. Their

mandate and rules of engagement are set by the authorizing body, often emphasizing

impartiality and the limited use of force except in self-defense or to protect civilians.

Launch on Warning is a nuclear weapons strategy in which a state launches its nuclear missiles immediately upon receiving credible early-warning signals that an adversary has launched (or is about to launch) a nuclear strike, but before the incoming missiles actually land.

The policy relies on early-warning systems such as satellites and radar to detect launches. The rationale is to prevent a country’s nuclear arsenal from being destroyed in a first strike and to ensure a guaranteed retaliatory capability (i.e., maintaining “deterrence” through second-strike capability).

In international relations, ideology in foreign policy

refers to the use of overarching belief systems, values,

or doctrines as guiding principles in a state’s external

actions. These can influence how a country defines its

allies and rivals, frames its long-term vision for the

international order, and justifies its interventions

abroad.

Karmic reincarnation is the belief that what you do in this life decides what happens when you are born again in your next life. 

When you do good things, you get good karma and this leads to being born into a better life (e.g., if you help others and are kind, you might be born as a human again). 

When you do bad things, you get bad karma and this leads to being born into a worse life (e.g., if you hurt people and commit crimes, you might be born as an animal or have a harder life).
