Une Russie qui change la donne

Pendant ce temps, des nouvelles du cirque

Evgueni Prigojine : « La tâche principale dans toute guerre est de détruire l’armée ennemie »

La SMP « Wagner » est une société militaire privée fondée, financée et dirigée par Evgueni Prigojine, homme d’affaires et aventurier quelque peu hors normes. Le fait que ce soit une société privée ne veut pas dire qu’elle soit sans foi ni loi – ni surtout sans patrie : la SMP Wagner travaille uniquement pour la Russie et non au plus offrant, elle a finalement contribué à évincer la France d’un certain nombre de pays africains ou proche-orientaux, de la Syrie au Mali, ce que les diplomates et la presse française ne digèrent pas, sûrs qu’ils étaient de leur mainmise sur la « françafrique ».

War Propaganda And Ideology At The Edge Of Oblivion

Within the coming days the cruel Russia-Ukraine War will enter its second year. Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 has triggered a series of global consequences not yet fully understood.[1] Despite intense scrutiny and speculation, no one really knows how it will turn out.[2] One hopes and prays that it will not lead to a nuclear exchange but even that dire eventuality cannot be discounted. Both Russia and Ukraine are supposedly preparing new armies aimed to deliver a knockout blow, both place hope in new weapons, both are desperately looking for more men, both have freed convicts to fight and you can find videos of forced conscription on both sides. Atrocities abound. Both sides search for allies and sources of support worldwide, no matter how marginal.

Burkina Faso: Another Russia-West hotspot?

A weak central government, a fragmented military and Islamic terrorism threaten to turn the Sahel nation into a geopolitical confrontation zone.

That Time US Forces Tore Hundreds of Russian Wagner Group Mercenaries to Pieces in Syria

It’s been one month since Russia invaded Ukraine. What Vladimir Putin and much of the world originally expected to be a quick and easy victory over their smaller neighbor has rapidly devolved into a military disaster for Russia. The Pentagon estimated more than 7,000 Russian soldiers had been killed since the invasion started, while NATO believes the number could be as high as 15,000. Russian generals continue to die, and reports are describing mass desertions and fratricide on the front lines. As much of the world celebrates the modern David versus Goliath story, cracks in the veneer of Russia’s supposed military might have shone through long before the invasion of Ukraine, and a four-hour battle that unfolded in Syria in 2018 is one of the most striking examples.
