by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio VERSIONE IN ITALIANO In the next few days, Russian nuclear warships will arrive in the port of Cuba for an official visit and some drills. At other times the issue would have seemed like a simple provocation but after the repeated escalations of the conflict in Ukraine triggered by the strengthening of missile supplies from NATO countries and the authorization given by some of them, including the USA, to use them on the territories of Russia from which the attacks against Kiev’s army originate, this “unexpected move” represents a danger that brings to mind the […] #Featured #History #Investigations #Military #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/06/nightmare-russian-nuclear-warships-near-us-coast/?feed_id=12351

Several opposition parties have attacked the proposal by French President Emmanuel Macron to share French nuclear weapons with the European Union. Macron’s controversy follows another recent one in which the erosion of France’s sovereignty and the legacy of Charles de Gaulle were highlighted in the most ironic way. During a speech on April 28, Macron stated that the EU needs a common defence strategy and that French nuclear weapons could be a key component. According to him, this would provide the security guarantees that Europe expects and would also allow for neighbourly relations with Russia. Macron stressed that a “credible […] #Europe #Government Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/04/opposition-parties-slam-macrons-idea-to-boost-european-defence-with-french-nuclear-weapons/?feed_id=11659

Two weeks ago, I wrote an article about a horribly one-sided “analysis” published by The Telegraph. The author, Andrew Lilico, made a number of laughable claims about Russia and its military, insisting that it could never defeat the United Kingdom or the European Union, combined or separately. At that moment, London’s forces were going through at least two humiliating episodes. This is particularly true for the UK’s Navy, the very cornerstone of its military power projection capabilities. Two weeks ago, the situation was quite bad, as the Royal Navy was already in disarray. One of its two aircraft carriers, HMS “Queen Elizabeth”, […] #Featured #Military Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/02/uk-navys-disastrous-state-takes-turn-for-worse-eroding-londons-strategic-capabilities/?feed_id=9267

Iranian political analyst Emad Abshenas discussed his country’s nuclear program on an August 12, 2023 show on Asharq News (Saudi Arabia). He said that before the nuclear deal was signed, Iran had enough uranium to produce 20 nuclear bombs and it now has enough uranium to produce 10-15 bombs if it only wanted to. Abshenas said that Iran doesn’t want to produce nuclear weapons, but it has technology and science to do so if it wanted to. He suggests that Iran might be using its nuclear program as a bargaining chip so that the other side lifts its sanctions.
