The great Greek historian, Thucydides, set out a principle he thought dictated relations between strong and weak nations during his time. He said, “The strong do what they will and the weak what they must.”  The question is whether this dictum still holds true even for nations such as Sri Lanka.    Today, our country is caught in a geopolitical struggle between the United States and China for dominance in the Asia-Pacific region.  Many of our leaders insist that, Sri Lanka should be “neutral” and/or “non-aligned” in this situation.  However, the question is whether a weak nation (“weak” defined in a technical sense i.e. military strength, industrial capacity, etc. and not a normative sense) can remain so when powerful nations have decided it is in their interest to gain a degree of control over such nations.
