La future « Banque de l’OTAN » devrait financer la course aux armements imminente entre l’Europe et la Russie.

Le dilemme sécuritaire russo-polonais servira probablement d’impulsion pour libérer pleinement et gérer correctement les capacités de l’OTAN européenne dans son ensemble, conformément à la stratégie de défense nationale des États-Unis.

Fin janvier, RT a attiré l’attention sur un rapport des Izvestia sur les prétendus projets occidentaux de créer une « Banque de défense, de sécurité et de résilience » (DSRB) d’ici 2027. Leur article s’appuie sur des recherches approfondies menées par l’Atlantic Council, qui a eu l’idée de ce qui a d’abord été appelé la « Banque de l’OTAN ». L’objectif est d’accorder des « prêts à faible taux d’intérêt pour la modernisation de la défense », permettant ainsi aux membres de l’OTAN de consacrer 5 % de leur PIB à la défense sans réduire de manière significative les dépenses sociales et d’infrastructure.

Fact-Check: Russia Was Never Iran’s “Ally”

In the objectively existing reality in which International Relations are unfolding, Russia has proven its reliability as an ally to the five countries that comprise the CSTO, while popular claims that it’s Syria, Venezuela, and/or Iran’s ally are bonafide “Potemkinism”, or nothing but an alternative reality.

Why No One Is Winning the Russia-Ukraine War After Four Years

Looking up above Ukraine’s snaking front lines, some drones zip toward far-away targets while others hover lower— buzzing right above the heads of soldiers on the contact line, searching for their next target.

“There is constant activity in the air almost everywhere,” says one Ukrainian soldier on the front line. He declined to provide his name or any details about where he’s been deployed, as he was not authorized to speak.

Sixty Russian agents identified: Prigozhin’s influence network taken over by the foreign intelligence service

At the “Company”, a group of “34 specialists,” sometimes referred to as “sociologists” or “political technologists,” work under Klyukin’s supervision. Responsible for monitoring and analyzing the political situation in 15 countries, they write briefing notes and conduct telephone surveys with thousands of respondents — 1,133 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in June 2024, another 1,024 in Mali in August, and so on.

Russia’s Military Bases in Syria Under Threat

The Tartus naval base and Hmeimim air base are Russia’s only military outposts outside the former Soviet Union and have been key to the Kremlin’s activities in Africa and the Middle East.

Russian state media report that the Syrian opposition has “guaranteed” the security of the facilities, but it is not clear if Moscow will maintain control of them.

Ce n’est pas la Russie, c’est l’Europe qui est isolée

Les responsables politiques et les journalistes des gros médias du système de l’UE sont si choqués par le revirement des États-Unis qu’ils n’arrivent plus à formuler des plans sérieux. La panique s’empare d’eux car leur logiciel de l’époque de l’OTAN avec les États-Unis dans la position du grand allié ne répond plus à leurs questions. Le résultat est que ce n’est pas la Russie, mais c’est l’Europe qui est isolée.

Russian Force Generation & Technological Adaptations Update, October 9, 2025

Key Takeaways

  • Russian forces have been increasingly targeting Ukrainian logistics routes and positions in the near rear using mothership unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), particularly motherships based on variants of the Orlan and Molniya fixed-wing drones, since at least August 2025.
  • Russian developers are integrating fiber-optic cables into cheaper drones to scale Russian forces’ ability to conduct drone strikes at farther ranges.
  • Russian forces are trying to scale the production of fiber-optic UAVs to increasingly intercept Ukrainian heavy bomber drones.
  • Russian developers reportedly introduced fiber-optic FPV UAVs that can function as repeater drones for other strike and reconnaissance UAVs, extending Russian tactical drone ranges to up to 60 kilometers.
  • Russian forces are pursuing moving targets in the near rear with Shahed (Geran) and Gerbera UAVs with integrated cameras and radio control capabilities.
  • Russian developers are fielding new countermeasures against Ukrainian drone interceptors, chiefly via newly integrated radio detectors.

Al-Sharaa Regime Strengthening Ties With Russia Amid Public Disapproval Due To Russia’s Past Alliance With Assad Regime

In recent weeks, there has been a noticeable warming of relations between Syria’s new regime, led by President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, and Russia. This rapprochement has met with criticism from many Syrians, given that Russia was a key ally of the Bashar Al-Assad regime. During Syria’s civil war it took brutal action against Assad’s opponents,[1] and today it provides asylum to the ousted president himself, his family and senior officials of his regime, while refusing to extradite them.[2] Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), the organization led by Al-Sharaa before he became president,[3] was frequently a target of these Russian attacks. But despite this, since coming to power in December 2024 Al-Sharaa has taken are not to alienate Russia and has not acted to remove its remaining military presence in Syria. This approach has also been evident in statements by Al-Sharaa and senior members of his regime, who have consistently taken a neutral, and at times even positive, tone towards Russia.[4] In addition, there have been mutual visits between the two countries: a senior delegation of Syrian ministers headed by Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani visited Moscow on July 31, 2025, and a Russian delegation headed by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak visited Damascus on September 9, 2025. On both occasions the sides expressed a mutual desire to “turn over a new leaf of genuine cooperation.”[5] The highlight was Al-Sharaa’s visit to Moscow on October 15, 2025 and his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which lasted about two and a half hours and during which both sides emphasized their desire to strengthen the friendly relations and cooperation between the two countries.[6]
