The U.S. State Department argued in a paper released last week that fitting the low-yield nuclear warheads to submarine-launched ballistic missiles would help counter potential new threats from Russia and China.

Siding with "anti globalist" block wilk not solve that problem, unless China make paralel world monetary financing system and start puring money around the world there will always be clear disadvantage for countries who decides firmly to stand by them and also Turkiye has approximatelly same amount of open issues with Russia as with West in terms of achieving their geopolitical goals.

Everytime women soldiers or women fighters got promoted by the media.
Only thing I saw was them getting annilated.
Remember the super duper kurdish women fighters who were going to make Syria a Vietnam for the TSK. Only to get annilated in a matter of days.
Tell me what will happen here? Russia will easily annilate them with ease. Forget soldiers its all about Tech.

TEXT: TETYANA KOVALENKO, January 23, 2022, 15:00
The talks concern long-term guarantees for the security of LNG supplies, newspaper sources say.
The United States is in talks with Qatar and a number of other natural gas exporters about emergency measures in case a further deterioration in relations between Ukraine and Russia leads to disruption of gas supplies to Europe. The Financial Times writes about this, citing senior White House officials.
“We are looking at what we can do about this, especially given that it is now the middle of winter and Europe’s gas reserves are already low. We are trying to understand what … we can prepare now if and when the crisis escalates,” one said. from the administration of the President of the United States.
Another source of the newspaper says that the negotiations concern long-term guarantees for the security of LNG supplies, given the fact that Qatar, for example, intends to significantly increase LNG production in the coming years.
"In the short term, everything depends on the agreement of other client countries to redirect [supplies] and the availability of free LNG. However, Qatar redirected supplies in 2011 to Japan after the tsunami, so there is a precedent, but only in case of a crisis," the source said.
Earlier, Member of the European Commission for Energy Kadri Simson called geopolitical tensions one of the reasons for high gas prices.

Pope calls for day of prayer for peace for Ukraine
2 hours ago
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Sunday expressed his concern over “rising tensions” in Ukraine that threaten peace, and called for political talks that put at the center “human brotherhood instead of partisan interests.”
“I am following with concern the rising tensions that threaten to inflict a new blow to peace in Ukraine, and put in question the security in Europe with even wider repercussions,” Francis said.
Francis called for a day of prayer for peace on Wednesday so that political talks may focus on “human brotherhood instead of partisan interests,” adding “those who pursue their own goals to the detriment of others despise their own human vocation because we have all been created as brothers.”
In 2010, 2 ex-German generals and 1 ex-ambassador thought that the Russians should join NATO.

Prime Minister of Bavaria against Ukraine's accession to NATO
January 23, 2022, 16:44
The Bavarian politician followed the path of the former head of the German Navy
Markus Soeder opposes tough anti-Russian sanctions for aggression against Ukraine.
The Prime Minister of the German state of Bavaria, Markus Soeder, spoke out against tough anti-Russian sanctions, saying that Moscow is not an enemy of Europe.
In an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Zeder noted that "no one can want a war in Europe, while the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine must be respected in accordance with international law."
At the same time, he expressed confidence that the ever-tougher sanctions against Russia cannot become an independent solution.
"On the one hand, because sanctions have long been ineffective, and on the other hand, because these new sanctions often harm us no less. For example, disconnecting Russia from the SWIFT financial system. Or closing the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, or even stopping all supplies gas from Russia as a whole would also affect our country. Even at the height of the Cold War, the energy connection between the Soviet Union and Germany was not in doubt, "said the Bavarian politician.
Zeder also spoke out against Ukraine's entry into NATO in the near future.
"Despite all the justified criticism of Russia, the West will ultimately have to answer the key question: is NATO expanding to include Ukraine or not?" You certainly cannot let Russia dictate here. But you still need to answer. In my opinion, one thing is clear: NATO's eastward expansion to include Ukraine will not be on the agenda for a long time to come," Zeder said.
According to him, NATO is not committed to a military alliance with Ukraine: "It is a matter of clarity and honesty to define a strategy that takes this into account while protecting the territorial integrity of Ukraine."
Zeder stressed that Russia is "a difficult partner, but not an enemy of Europe", so it is necessary to maintain contact with Moscow. He said that most Germans want a stable and peaceful relationship with Russia.
He also said that he "cannot imagine" the supply of German weapons to Ukraine.
