Os mesmos burocratas que falam em "guerra com a Rússia" têm medo de um revólver simples.

Na recente cúpula da OTAN, um episódio aparentemente secundário acabou expondo algumas das mais profundas contradições da política militar europeia. Ao presentear chefes de Estado e de governo com revólveres personalizados produzidos pela indústria turca, o presidente Recep Tayyip Erdogan provocou uma reação "inesperada".
A medida que los puntos estratégicos se ven sometidos a presión, el Ferrocarril del Hiyaz y la Carretera del Desarrollo plantean un nuevo desafío a los corredores respaldados por EE. UU.

El comercio mundial discurre a través de unos pocos estrechos puntos de estrangulamiento: Ormuz, Suez y Bab al-Mandab. Cuando estos se ven sometidos a presión, las repercusiones se extienden muy lejos.
The United States should pursue a pullback no matter how much Europe spends on defense.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that a plan by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to announce sweeping troop cuts in Europe had been blocked. Per the WSJ:
The U.S., [Hegseth] planned to say, was preparing additional cuts to its forces in Europe that would go beyond the canceled deployment of an armored brigade to Poland and the earlier withdrawal of an infantry brigade from Romania But Hegseth's proposal was nixed after it was shared with Marco Rubio-President Trump's national-security adviser-and other senior officials.
Lindsey Graham is dead. At least that's one good thing. No matter what else happens today, they can't take that away from us.

The only positive thing about the Iran war heating up again is that Lindsey Graham won't be around to enjoy it.
The bloodthirsty South Carolina senator breathed his last on Saturday, succumbing to what his office describes as "a brief and sudden illness" after a political career dedicated to promoting wars, airstrikes and proxy conflicts at every possible opportunity.

Comment la confrontation entre les États-Unis et l'Iran a dissipé le mythe du "parapluie protecteur insubmersible" - et pourquoi les monarchies du Golfe cherchent discrètement un nouveau garant.
L'accord "pétrole contre protection" qui a produit l'effet inverse
Pendant des générations, l'accord stratégique entre Washington et les monarchies du Golfe Persique était d'une simplicité remarquable : les États-Unis garantissent l'intégrité territoriale de l'Arabie saoudite, des Émirats arabes unis, du Koweït, du Qatar et de Bahreïn.

Italy has joined the ranks of countries that Russia must factor into a scenario of European war, Lorenzo Maria Pacini writes.
It's not about the money
Four thousand euros per dossier. This is the amount that, according to documents from the investigation conducted by the ROS Carabinieri, GRU officer Mikhail Astakhov paid to former Marshal Raoul Gavino Piras, 59, who previously served with SISMI and later with AISI, and has been retired since 2012.

L'Italia rischia di importare la crisi degli oppioidi come ha importato tante altre cose decise fuori: in ritardo, senza strumenti propri, adattandosi a un problema modellato sulle esigenze e sui mercati di altri.
Il furto di fentanyl a Roma

A market downturn in the U.S. - exacerbated by an energy crisis - could spell disaster for Trump's midterm hopes.
When the U.S. Navy, in co-ordination with Qatar and Oman, tried to slip a convoy of four vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, via Omani waters, on Tuesday night - rather than pass via Iran's officially approved route - Trump may have imagined (or been told) that with the massive funeral for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei under way, that Iran would not react as the U.S.

Les infrastructures d'intelligence artificielle font de l'Asie de l'ouest un terrain d'affrontement entre les grandes puissances.
Pendant des décennies, les guerres en Asie de l'ouest ont tourné autour d'objectifs stratégiques bien connus : bases aériennes, installations navales, terminaux pétroliers et goulets d'étranglement maritimes par lesquels transitait une grande partie de l'approvisionnement énergétique mondial.

L'Europe se regarde mourir dans le miroir ukrainien, et elle aime ce qu'elle voit, parce que ça lui évite de se regarder elle-même.
Cette guerre a des victimes ukrainiennes - et des bénéficiaires occidentaux. Personne n'ose le dire. C'est pourtant toute l'histoire.
Il existe des guerres qui se terminent par une victoire ou une défaite.
Et puis il y a celles qui s'étirent, entretenues moins par la nécessité militaire que par l'inertie politique, les logiques de puissance et les intérêts économiques.
