How will becoming a nuclear power help Iran with ”acceptance of its reintegration into the banking and finance system of the world”?
There are already two known nuclear powers, Russia and North Korea, which are both under heavy sanctions and practically decoupled from the financial system. If...
This war should be a wake-up call for Europeans about what being allied with the US actually means. Europe needs to decouple its defence industry from the US, and build a strong and independent arms industry.
European countries should focus on defence and building a big arms industry no matter...
You are right until here.
The only good thing they are doing now is throwing money at Ukraine to support the war. Considering the huge waste of money happening in Europe on so many stupid programs, the military support for Ukraine is the best spent money of European governments and the EU...
These strikes on ammunition depots are extremely important. A few more of these and Russians will have a very hard time to sustain the fire rate at the frontlines.
The good thing is that Ukraine has greatly improved its long range strike capabilities through domestically produced drones that...
Top Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil was killed on Friday in an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs, two security sources told Reuters.

Air-defense is a losing game. Expensive and ineffective. If you want to win against cruise and ballistic missiles, you need to overpower thier launch platforms and destroy the enemy’s ability to strike. Now add the cheap drones into the equation, and air-defense is even less effective, as it...
You seem to be very concerned about the escalation made by Western nations, but you always forget that the only real escalation was made by Russia when it invaded.
Russia can easily deescalate the conflict anytime it wants to, not through nuclear weapons, but by withdrawing from Ukraine and...
The stupidity of Western leaders when it comes to fighting a war is just striking. Why do you need to announce the delivery of such a weapon weeks/months in advance, so that the enemy can prepare to defend against it, or to move away potential targets?
The JASSMs should have been delivered...
I agree with you that many European leaders made big mistakes in their relationship with Russia, especially when it comes to Germany, Austria and Hungary. They thought Russia could be a partner, and they thought Putin was a rational person. They were wrong, and the warnings about Russia’s...
While the circumstances were different, it doesn’t mean the outcome can’t be the same. Think about the rebelion in Cecenia. They sent the military to quell the rebelion. What would have happened if at that time the Russia military was fighting a serious war like the one in Ukraine and didn’t...
Your statement sounds juvenile, not my opinions. How many nukes did the Soviet Union set-off when it disintegrated? Exactly the same number that Russia will set-off when it will disintegrate.
The disintegration of Russia into smaller states doesn’t have to come through nuclear war. It is enough...
The problem with those world leaders you are citing is that they have ulterior motives. They don’t want Russia completely destroyed because they fear that China will remain without a counterbalance in Asia. They already see Russia as being weak, and their main concern is now China.
Some US...
The Russians have imposed Communism on my county, and for this alone I wish for their total destruction as a country. They kept all of Eastern Europe in poverty for half a century with their evil doctrine, and they deserve to be punished for it. I stand with the Ukrainians in their fight for...
A Balkanized Russia would be the best outcome of this war. The last thing the world needs is a strong Russia.
It is impossible to know how the war will end, but I doubt the Ukrainians will be willing to end the war without recovering their lands. In the end, this war gives them the excuse to...
He left Russia long time ago, because he was not willing to do the regime’s bidding. He refused to handle the information about Ukrainians participating in the Maidan revolts to the Russian authorities. He was basically a Russian disident who stood for freedom and risked his position to protect...
This is actually a bad thing, as Durov was arrested because Telegram doesn’t censor enough. The Telegram app is known to be used by people who want to avoid censorship, so it is a tool that helps free speech. His arrest just shows that France is not much different from Russia when it comes to...
I don’t agree with your opinion at all. First of all, I think Russia can be defeated, in the sense that a complete socio-economic collapse of Russia would force it to abandon any territorial gains in exchange for peace and economic relief.
Russia needs to collapse like the Soviet Union, torn...
