Still, a lot of influential people spend a lot of time and money trying to do it. People forecast where the stock market is going, they predict trends in fashion, technology and everything else. It makes you wonder if all that effort and money trying to predict the future actually helps to make it happen. So why is the future so unpredictable? What forces do shape the future? Joining me to discuss this is Glenn Adamson, former director of the Museum of Arts and Design, New York. He has held appointments as Senior Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art and he is the author of the book, A Century of Tomorrows: How Imagining the Future Shapes the Present (https://amzn.to/442HOfb).

Transcript of the Interview: Israel's shadow war with the Iranian regime, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, erupted into open conflict last week following a stunning report from the International Atomic Energy Agency that confirmed Iran was much closer to obtaining nuclear weapons than previously known. Since Israel launched a wave of attacks on nuclear sites and facilities, Iran has fired missiles toward Israel's most populated cities. Joining us to discuss what this all means is one of the foremost experts on Iran and its global threats, and a regular guest when trouble arises with Iran. Dr. Matthew Levitt, director of the Reinhard Counterterrorism Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.  Matt, welcome back to People of the Pod. Matthew Levitt:   It's a pleasure to be back, but I need to come sometime when the world's okay.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   That would be nice. That'd be nice. But what will we talk about? Matthew Levitt:   Yeah, just call me one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, you are one of the foremost experts on the dangers posed by Iran, especially its terror proxies. And you've written the definitive book on Hezbollah, titled Hezbollah: the Global Footprint of Lebanon's Party of God. And I say that whole title, I want to get in there, because we are talking about global threats here.  Can you explain the scale of Iran's global threat and the critical role that its terror proxies, like Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, play in advancing that strategy? Matthew Levitt:   So I really appreciate the question, because it's really important to remind listeners that the Israel Iran war did not start Thursday night US time, Friday morning, Israel time. In fact, it's just the latest salvo where the Israelis, after years and years and years of Iranian we call it malign activity, but that's too soft a term. We're talking about Iran sending weapons and funds to proxies like Hamas to carry out October 7, like Hezbollah to fire rockets at Israel almost daily for almost a year. Like the Houthis, who were much more than a thorn in the Saudi backside until the Iranians came and gave them more sophisticated capabilities.  We're talking about an Iran that a few years ago decided that instead of making sure that every gun that it sent to the West Bank had to go to Hamas or Islamic Jihad. They decided to just flood the West Bank with guns. Who cares who's shooting at the Israelis so long as somebody is. And an Iran that not only carries out human rights abuses of all kinds at home, but that threatens Israel and its neighbors with drones, low altitude cruise missiles, short range ballistic missiles, and medium and long range ballistic missiles.  And so the totality of this, much like the totality of Hezbollah's striking Israel for almost a year, ultimately led Israel to do what most people thought couldn't be done, and just tear Hezbollah apart, that the Israel war on Hezbollah is the prequel to what we've been seeing over the past few days in Iran. Similarly, for the Israelis, it got to be too much. It wasn't even really that President Trump's 60 days expired and Israel attacked on day 61. It wasn't only that the IAEA came out with a report saying that the Iranians have refused to explain certain activities that can only be explained as nuclear weaponization activities.  It was that the Israelis had information that two things were happening. One, that Iran was working very, very hard to rebuild its capability to manufacture medium, long range ballistic missiles that can hit Israel. After the Israeli reprisal attack last October took out a key component of that program, the mixers that are important for the solid propellant, without which you can't make ballistic missiles. And Iran is believed to have, at least the beginning of this recent round of the conflict –Thursday, Friday–about 2000 such missiles. Far fewer now, the Israelis say they've taken out about a third of them, plus launchers, plus radars, et cetera. But that Iran had a plan within just a few years to develop as many as 8000 of these. And that simply was not tolerable for the Israelis.  And the second is that the Israelis say that they compiled evidence that Iran had a secret, secret nuclear weapons program that had been going on predating October 7, but was fast tracked after October 7, that they were planning to maintain this program, even as they were negotiating over the more overt program with the Trump administration. President Trump has even taken issue with his own Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who testified in March that the US intelligence committee does not assess that Iran is weaponizing. And President says, I don't care what she says, I think they were very close to weaponizing.  The Israelis say they have shared this information at least recently with their US counterparts and that was not tolerable. So the primary goals that Israel has set out for itself with this campaign is beyond the critically important shattering the glass ceiling. Think where people in particular, in Iran thought this would never happen, was two things, one, addressing and significantly degrading and setting back the Iranian ballistic missile production program, and second, doing the same to the nuclear program. They've already carried out strikes at Isfahan, Natanz, even at the upper parts of Fordow. And there is an expectation that the Israelis are going to do something more. The Israeli national security advisor said on Israeli television today, We are not going to stop without addressing the nuclear activities at Fordow. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You know, you called it a prequel, Israel's operations against Hezbollah last year. Did you know that it was a prequel at the time and to what extent did it weaken Iran and leave it more vulnerable in this particular war? Matthew Levitt:   I'm going to be the last person in Washington, D.C. who tells you when he doesn't know. And anybody who tells you they did know is lying to you. None of us saw what Israel did to Hezbollah coming. None of us saw that and said, Oh, they did it to a non-state actor right across their border. So they'll definitely be able to do it to Iran, 1000+ kilometers away, big nation state with massive arsenals and a nuclear program and lots of proxies. One plus one does not equal three in this.  In other words, the fact that Israel developed mind boggling capabilities and incredible intelligence, dominance and then special tools, pagers and walkie talkies, in the case of Hezbollah, did not mean that they were going to be able to do the same vis a vis Iran. And they did. The same type of intelligence dominance, the same type of intelligence, knowing where somebody was at a certain time, that the protocols would be that certain leaders would get in a certain secret bunker once hostilities started, and they'd be able to take them out in that bunker. As they did to a bunch of senior Hezbollah commanders just months ago. Drone operations from within Iran, Iran being hit with missiles that were fired at Iran from within Iran, all of it. One case did not necessarily translate into the other. It is exponentially impressive. And Israel's enemies have to be saying, you know, that the Israelis are just all capable. Now you're absolutely right. You hit the nail on the head on one critical issue. For a very long time, Israel was at least somewhat deterred, I would say very deterred, from targeting Iran. Because Iran had made very, very clear if Israel or the United States or anybody else targeted Iran or its nuclear program, one of the first things that would happen would be that Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel, Iran's first, most important proxy would rain hellfire in Israel in the form of 1000s upon 1000s of rockets. Until Israel addressed the problem, Hezbollah is believed to have had 150 to 200,000 different types of projectiles, up to and including precision guided munitions.  Not only have the overwhelming majority of those been destroyed, Hezbollah still has 1000s of rockets, but Hezbollah leadership has been decimated. There's a new sheriff in town in Lebanon. There's a new government that immediately, when hostility started with Iran's, went to Hezbollah and said, You're not doing this, not dragging Lebanon back into a war that nobody wanted again. We are finally coming out of this economic crisis. And so Iran was faced with a situation where it didn't have Hezbollah to deter Israel.  Israel, you know, paved the way for a highway in the air to Iran, taking out air defense systems. It was able to fly over and through Syria. The Syrians are not shedding any tears as they see the Quds Force and the IRGC getting beaten down after what Iran did in Syria. And the Israelis have air dominance now. President Trump said, We, using the we term, air dominance now, earlier today. And they're able to slowly and methodically continue to target the ballistic missile program. Primarily, the medium and long range missiles that target Israel, but sometimes it's the same production lines that produce the short range missiles that Iran uses to target U.S. Forces in the region, and our allies in the Gulf. So Israel is not just protecting itself, it's protecting the region. And then also taking out key military security intelligence personnel, sometimes taking out one person, then a couple days later, taking out the person who succeeded that person, and then also taking out key scientists who had the know-how to potentially rebuild all the things that Israel is now destroying. Manya Brachear Pashman:   But Israel is also not hearing from the Houthis, is not hearing from Hamas. It's not hearing from other terror proxies either. Very few attacks from Iran's terror proxies in the aftermath of this wave. Why? Why do you think that is? Matthew Levitt:   The crickets are loud. The crickets are loud. Look, we've discussed Hezbollah. Hezbollah understands that if it were to do something, the Israelis will come in even harder and destroy what's left. Hamas is still holding hostages. This is still an open wound, but it doesn't have the capabilities that it once had, and so there have been a couple of short range things that they tried to shoot, but it's not anything that's going to do huge damage, and the Israeli systems can deal with those.  The Houthis did fire something, and it hurt some Palestinians near Hebron. You know, the Houthis and the Iranians in particular, in this conflict have killed Palestinians, and in one case, Syrians. They're continuing to hurt people that are not Israelis. One of the things that I think people are hopeful for is that as Iran tries to sue for peace, and it already is, it's been reaching out to Cyprus to pass messages, etcetera. The hope is that Iran will recognize that it's in a position whereby A) there has to be zero enrichment and the facilities have to be destroyed, whatever's left of them. And B) there's a hope that Israel and the United States together will be able to use this diplomatic moment to truly end the conflict in Gaza and get the hostages home. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, that was what I was going to ask. I mean, if Israel achieves its objectives in this war, primarily eliminating Iran's nuclear threat, how significant a setback would that be for Hamas and Iran's other terror proxies, and could it indeed pave the way for an end of the war in Gaza and the return of the hostages? Matthew Levitt:   Like everybody else, I'm so scarred, I don't want to get my hopes up, but I do see this as a distinct possibility, and here's why. Not Hezbollah, not the Houthis, not Hamas, none of them, and plenty of other proxies that don't start in the letter H, none of them could have been anywhere as capable as they've proven to be, were it not for Iranian money and weapons. Also some training, some intelligence, but primarily money and weapons.  And so Hamas is already on its back foot in this regard. It can still get some money in. It's still being able to make money off of humanitarian aid. Iran is still sending money in through money exchange houses and hawaladars, but not weapons. Their ability to manufacture weapons, their military industrial complex within Gaza, this is destroyed. Hezbollah, we've discussed, discussed, and a lot of their capabilities have been destroyed. And those that remain are largely deterred. The Houthis did shoot up some rockets, and the Israelis did carry out one significant retaliatory attack. But I think people are beginning to see the writing on the wall. The Israelis are kicking the stuffing out of Iran with pinprick attacks that are targeting the worst of the bad guys, including people who have carried out some of the worst human rights transgressions against Iranians. Let's not pretend that this is not affecting the average Iranian. It is. The president says, Everybody get out of Tehran. That's just not possible. People, average Iranians, good people. It must be just an absolute terror.  But Israel's not bombing, you know, apartment buildings, as Iran is doing in Israel, or as Russia is doing in Ukraine. And so it really is a different type of thing. And when the Houthis, when Hamas, when Hezbollah, look at this, you don't you don't poke the tiger when it's angry. I think they also understand now's the time to get into survival mode. What you want is for the regime in Iran not to be destroyed. This is no longer a moment, as it's been since long before October 7, but certainly since then, of how Iran as proxies, export Iran's revolution. This is now a question of how they maintain and preserve the revolution at home. And it's extremely important to the proxies that Iran remain, so that even if it's knocked down over time, hopefully, theoretically, from their perspective, it can regain its footing. It will still have, they hope, its oil and gas, etcetera, and they will get back to a point where they can continue to fund and arm the proxies in. Maybe even prioritize them as it takes them longer to rebuild their ballistic missile, drone, and nuclear programs. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Which is a scary prospect as well to know that terror proxies could be spread throughout the world and empowered even a little bit more. President Trump left the G7 summit a day early to meet with security advisors, and just a few hours ago, prior to this interview, President Trump called for Iran's, quote, unconditional surrender, saying that the US knows where the Supreme Leader is, and some other threatening language. But I mean, this appears to be a kind of a clear commitment to Israel. So I'm curious how you assess his administration's actions before and during the war thus far, and do you see the United States edging toward direct involvement? Matthew Levitt:   All politics is local, and there is a tug of war within the MAGA movement over whether or not the US should be getting involved. Not only in supporting an important ally, but in removing a critical threat. The President is clearly frustrated that Iran was not being more forthcoming in the negotiations. He said many times, we'd offered you a great deal, you should have taken the deal. He's very aware that his deadline ended, and they didn't particularly seem to care. There's also the background that once upon a time, they tried to assassinate him, I think, after the Israelis did what they did, the President appreciates capabilities. He appreciates success. He likes backing the winning horse. And so the New York Times is reporting that after getting off the phone with Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump reportedly turned to some aides and said, maybe we need to help him. Now it's not clear that's what's going to happen, and my understanding is that the Israelis have plans of their own for things like the heavily fortified facility at Fordow, which is the most important and highly fortified, protected of the nuclear installations. The Israeli National Security Advisor spoke today and said, you know, we're not going to be done until we do something with Fordow.  The United States can do multiple things only the United States has the MOP: the Massive Ordinance Penetrator, and the airplanes to deliver it, and they could end Fordow if they wanted. Short of that, they could do other things to support Israel. There's been defensive support for the State of Israel already, but there's other things they could do, refueling and other things if they wanted to. And at a minimum, I don't see the president restraining Israel at all. Now, I've heard some people say that so far, the President has fired nothing more than some social media postings, some of them even in all caps.  But the truth is, those do have an effect, and so long as Israel is not restrained. I think the Israelis went into this with a plan. That plan is not necessarily to entirely destroy the entire nuclear program, but if the ballistic missile program and the nuclear program are sufficiently degraded so that it will take them years and a tremendous amount of time and money to rebuild, knowing that Israel has broken the glass ceiling on this idea of targeting Iran, that if the Israelis feel they need to, they will come back. If the Iranians rebuild their air defense systems, the Israelis will address them and create a new highway going if they need to. I think the Israelis are making that clear. Knowing that it's going to be a little bit of a road for Iran, especially when it will have to deal with some domestic issues coming out of this.  Finally, the Israelis have started signaling there's other things they could do. The Israelis have not yet fully targeted oil and gas fields and facilities. For example, they had one set of attacks where they basically knocked at the front door of some of these facilities without walking in the house. That's signaling, and I think it's one of the reasons you're seeing Iran quietly trying to reach out for some type of a ceasefire. Other signaling, for example, is the Israelis deciding to fly all the way to Mashhad, which is in far eastern Iran, to take out an airplane. That airplane was not particularly important. It was the message. There is nowhere in Iran we can't go. It's not a question of distance, it's not a question of refueling, it's not a question of air defense systems. We can do what we need to do. And I think the Iranians understand that now. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So we talked about the commitment to Israel, and how clear, how important it is to clarify that commitment to Israel. How important is it to clarify the United States commitment to Arab partners in the Middle East to help defend them in other words, if this conflict escalates? Matthew Levitt:   This is critically important. You know, one of the individuals who was taken out, for example, was the person who was in charge of the drone attack on the Abqaiq oil facility in Saudi Arabia. If you look, for example, at the Saudi statement condemning the Israeli actions, it was issued by the Foreign Ministry without a single name attached to it. Wasn't issued by the Crown Prince, wasn't issued by the foreign minister. So I think you should expect a whole lot of public criticism. I imagine there's a different conversation going on behind closed doors. It's not necessarily, you know, pom-poming. This makes the Gulf states very, very nervous, in part because they understand that one way Iran could try and get out of this is to expand the conflict.  And that the reason they haven't is because, short of trying to prevent Iranians from taking to the streets and potentially doing something to maybe overthrow the regime, short of that, the number one thing that the Iranian regime is most desperate to avoid is getting the United States involved militarily. And I think the Iranians really understand and the messaging's been clear. If you target US Forces in the region, if you target our allies in the region, we'll get involved. If you don't, then we might not.  Now the President now is talking about potentially doing that, and as a lot of maybe this, maybe that, nothing very clear. I think what is clear is that the Israelis are going to continue doing what they need to do for another one to two weeks. Even going so far as doing something, though they haven't made clear what to address the really complicated problem of the fortified facility at Fordow. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So how important is it for global security if Israel is successful in eliminating the nuclear threat in Iran? Matthew Levitt:   Look, Iran has been the single most destabilizing factor in the region for a long time now. Imagine a region without a destabilizing revolutionary regime in Iran without a regime that is supporting Shia militants in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.  Imagine the Shia militias in Iraq suddenly without a funder and a patron, enabling the Shia government in Iraq to actually be able to take control of the country and establish a monopoly over the use of force. At a time when the Shia militias, because of Iran's backing, are becoming more dangerous and more powerful in Iraq.  Imagine the Lebanese government being able to be more forward leaning in their effort to establish a monopoly over the use of force in that country, reclaim bases that Hezbollah has used for all this time, and establish a new Lebanon that is not beholden to Iran and Hezbollah.  And imagine an Israeli-Palestinian situation where you didn't have Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as spoilers. Recall that October 7 happened in large part because Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran could not tolerate the prospect of Israeli-Saudi normalization. For most Palestinians, this was great news. The Saudis were demanding real dividends for the Palestinians from the Netanyahu government, which was likely going to do them. This was great for Palestinians, bad for Hamas.  Imagine Hamas no longer getting that support from Iran. Imagine Iran no longer able to send or being interested in sending millions upon millions of dollars to its proxies, and instead spending what money it has on helping its population, instead of cracking down on it with human rights violations. You could have a very, very different region, let alone imagine Iran no longer carrying out acts of terrorism, kidnapping plots, abduction plots of dissidents and Jews and Israelis and others around the world of the type that we've seen throughout Europe and throughout the Middle East and even in the United States over the past few years. Manya Brachear Pashman:   That's quite an imagination you have. But I take your point. Let me ask you this then. Did you ever imagine that Israel would take this dramatic step?  Matthew Levitt:   What the Israelis have achieved, when you are so against the wall and you're forced to come up with solutions, because it's a matter of life or death – you make the impossible possible. And I think that perhaps the Iranians assumed that the Israeli post-October 7 doctrine applied to non-state actors only. And that doctrine is very simple. Israel will no longer allow adversaries who are openly committed to its destruction to build up weapons, arsenals that they can then use at some point to actually try and destroy Israel. They will not allow that to happen.  They allowed it to happen with Hamas. It was a mistake. They allowed it to happen with Hezbollah. It was a mistake that they corrected. And Iran is the biggest, arguably, really, the only existential threat as huge, as a tasking as that was, clearly they invested in doing it. And the question became, not, why can't it be done? What is it that has to be overcome? And I don't think sitting here with you right now, you know, what is it, 3:30 on Tuesday, the 17th, that we've seen the last of the tricks up Israel's sleeve.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   I only have one last question for you, and that is about the United States. The importance of the United States getting directly involved. I mean, we've talked about previously undisclosed nuclear sites, and who knows how many there could be. We're talking about more than what, 600,000 square miles of Iran. If the goal is a non nuclear Iran, can Israel finish this war without the United States, or does it even matter? I mean, is this just a step to force Iran back to the negotiating table with virtually zero leverage? Matthew Levitt:   So look, I don't think the goal here is completely destroying the Iranian nuclear program, or even completely destroying the Iranian ballistic missile program. The goal is to so degrade it that it is set back many, many years, and break that ceiling. People now understand if Israelis need to come back, they're coming back. I think they would like to do as much damage to these destructive programs as possible, of course, and I don't think we've seen the end of it. I think there are more tricks up Israel's sleeve when it comes to some of these complicated problems.  Judged by this yardstick, by the way, the Israeli operation is a tremendous success, tremendous success, even though there have been some significant casualties back in Israel, and even though this has caused tremendous trauma for innocent Iranians who have no love for the regime. This is a situation that the Iranian regime has brought down on all of us.  I do think that the Israelis have made very, very clear that this doesn't end until something is done to further disrupt and dismantle Fordow, which is the most important and the most heavily fortified, underground, under a mountain facility. It's not clear what the Israelis have in mind. It seems they have something in mind of their own. It's clear they would love for the United States to get involved, because the United States could do real damage to that facility and potentially end the Iranian nuclear program. But at the end of the day, if it can't be completely destroyed, I anticipate it's going to be damaged enough to significantly set it back. This phase of the Israel-Iran war, which didn't start last week, is not about pushing them back a week or a month or two months. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, Matt, thank you so much for your wise counsel and perspective on this matter, and yes, hopefully we can have you back another time to talk about peace and love and things that have nothing to do with war and conflict with Iran or its terror proxies. Matthew Levitt:   I would really look forward to prepping for that interview. In the meantime, I want to thank AJC for all the important work it does, and thank you guys for having me on the podcast. Manya Brachear Pashman:   If you missed last week's episodes, be sure to tune in for our crossover episode with Books and Beyond: The Rabbi Sacks Podcast, a podcast of the Rabbi Sacks Legacy, and my conversation with AJC's Jerusalem Director Avital Liebovich. During a special breaking news episode the day after Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, the latest in Israel's ongoing war of self-defense against the Iranian regime.

Le drone est-il en train de remplacer l'hélicoptère, voire l'avion, dans un certain nombre de pays, notamment en Afrique ? Cette année, le drone est l'une des superstars du Salon aéronautique du Bourget, qui vient de s'ouvrir près de Paris. Parmi les visiteurs assidus de ce Salon, il y a l'ancien officier français Peer de Jong, qui a créé Themiis, une société de conseil pour la paix et la sécurité, qui opère principalement en Afrique. Quels sont les atouts du drone en Afrique ? En ligne du Bourget, Peer de Jong répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. Quelles sont en Afrique les batailles où les drones ont joué un rôle décisif ces dix dernières années ? Je connais deux batailles où les drones ont joué un rôle vraiment décisif. La première, c'est au Mali, puisque les Forces armées maliennes (Fama) avec Wagner utilisent systématiquement depuis en fait deux ans dans toutes leurs opérations des drones pour la reconnaissance. Mais également pour le tir, puisqu'elles ont des Bayraktar de Turquie. Ces Bayraktar sont armés. Donc aujourd'hui, il y a un usage systématique au Mali, en tout cas de drones. La deuxième grande bataille, c'est en Libye. En Libye, en 2020, au moment où le maréchal Haftar déclenche une offensive en direction de Tripoli à partir de Tobrouk, il a été très concrètement arrêté par les forces de Tripoli qui étaient, elles, équipées avec une société militaire privée (SMP) bien connue qui s'appelle Sadat. Elles étaient équipées avec des Bayraktar. Et le Bayraktar a été décisif dans le blocage des forces de Haftar en direction de Tripoli. Donc, on est vraiment au début d'une histoire et aujourd'hui les vendeurs de matériel circulent dans toute l'Afrique et font des propositions. Les acteurs principaux dans ce domaine-là, très concrètement, ce sont les Turcs. Aujourd'hui, les Turcs se servent du drone comme une espèce de produit d'appel pour en fait développer une forme d'influence sur l'ensemble des pays africains. Et moi actuellement, je les rencontre partout et ils le font avec une structure qui s'appelle Sadat. C'est un petit peu le Wagner bis, le Wagner turc. Et c'est cette structure qui fait théoriquement la formation et qui fait la préparation des unités opérationnelles sur le Bayraktar. Un drone armé de type Bayraktar de fabrication turque, ça coûte combien environ ? Alors ce n'est pas très cher, on est largement en dessous des 5 millions d'euros. Et en fait, après, le problème, c'est le missile qu'on met dessus, parce que ce sont les missiles qui coûtent cher principalement. Et comparativement, un hélicoptère, ça coûte combien ? Je ne sais pas, ça dépend des modèles, bien évidemment, mais on est sur des modèles à 20 ou 30 millions. Sachant que l'hélicoptère est un engin relativement fragile. Donc le drone aujourd'hui trouve toute sa place dans les opérations de reconnaissance et éventuellement dans les opérations de combat pour les pays qui sont, je dirais, en tension. Est-ce que le drone n'est pas en train de remplacer l'avion ou l'hélicoptère dans certains pays africains ? Oui, mais l'emploi n'est pas le même parce qu'en fait l'hélicoptère fait de la logistique principalement. Il y a très peu d'hélicoptères armés à part les Mi-24. Je vois un exemple au Mali, il y a les deux. Il y a des hélicoptères armés, il y a des drones. Aujourd'hui, les Maliens préfèrent travailler avec des drones, c'est beaucoup plus simple. On met la mission à l'intérieur du drone et le drone, quoi qu'il en soit, il y va. Donc, on voit que l'emploi du drone est tellement simple, tellement facile et en fait tellement économique. Quelque part, il n'y a pas de comparaison. Encore une fois, l'hélicoptère devient un engin qui devient, je ne dis pas obsolète parce que le mot est un petit peu fort, parce que, dans les missions logistiques, les missions de commandement, on peut utiliser évidemment l'hélicoptère, mais l'hélicoptère perd beaucoup de son intérêt. On s'en sert comme un engin de transport, mais pas comme un engin de combat. À lire aussiLa défense et l'espace, seules éclaircies attendues au salon de l'aéronautique du Bourget En décembre 2023, au Nigeria, un drone a tué 85 civils qui participaient à une fête religieuse. C'était à Toudoum Biri, dans l'État de Kaduna. L'armée nigériane a présenté ses excuses, mais est-ce que le pilotage à distance n'augmente pas le nombre de bavures ? Théoriquement non, parce qu'il y a une qualité d'image qui est reportée à l'arrière, qui est excellente. Après, tout dépend du commandement, parce que l'image arrive derrière, dans une espèce de petit état-major, un petit PC pour faire court, avec un écran ou deux écrans. Donc il y a des vérifications, des contrôles et l'ordre de tir n'est pas donné par le tireur, il est donné par le chef du système. Alors après, tout dépend comment c'est organisé. Peer de Jong, vous êtes au salon du Bourget. Est-ce que les fabricants de drones sont présents, je pense notamment aux industriels turcs et chinois ? Alors, il n'y a globalement pas que ça, mais on va dire que c'est le grand marché qui s'ouvre. Parce qu'il y a des Luxembourgeois, il y a des Belges, il y a des Espagnols, il y a évidemment des Chinois. En fait, l'ensemble de la planète aujourd'hui fabrique des drones. Donc, on est sur un marché en pleine explosion. Donc encore une fois, c'est un marché phénoménal dans lequel les États africains sont partie prenante bien évidemment, puisqu'en fait, ils peuvent acquérir des engins à des prix parfaitement acceptables. D'autant qu'aujourd'hui, on fabrique les drones en grande quantité, donc les prix baissent et donc, évidemment, ils sont accessibles pour tous les budgets militaires africains. Et le premier prix est à combien, si j'ose dire ? Pour 10 000 euros, vous avez un drone parfaitement efficace. Aujourd'hui, l'Union européenne finance des programmes de drones pour la surveillance des frontières ou pour la surveillance des pêches, ou éventuellement pour les questions de surveillance écologique, pour voir les bateaux, les dégazages, etc. Donc, encore une fois, le drone a des missions extrêmement variées. Alors c'est vrai que la mission la plus haute, c'est la mission de combat avec des missiles, mais on voit bien que la plupart des missions des drones sont des missions de reconnaissance ou des missions pour aller observer ce qui se passe. Y a-t-il en Afrique aujourd'hui des États qui cherchent à fabriquer eux-mêmes des drones ? Alors quand les vendeurs de drones viennent dans les pays, les États africains leur disent : « Écoutez, nous, on est prêts à, comment dire, à vous acheter des drones, mais par contre on veut les fabriquer sous licence. » Donc, il y a un marché régional qui va se mettre en place. Moi, je connais deux pays qui aujourd'hui sont plutôt partie prenante et sont plutôt dynamiques dans ce domaine-là, c'est le Maroc et l'Afrique du Sud.

Shraddhavani invites us to engage with the facts about our contributions to climate change through basic activities such as eating, living in our homes and travel. She then asks us to get in touch with those seemingly simple, everyday feelings that tend to govern our choices in these areas –– the feelings of wanting, resistance and not knowing, which we as Buddhists can relate to the poisons of greed, hatred and delusion. Excerpted from the talk Transforming Our Poisons - Liberating Our Choices, which was followed by a led meditation.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur le soutien d'un général libyen aux FSR et une enquête sur les prisons secrètes de Wagner. Kenya : l'affaire Albert Ojwang indigne l'opinion publique  La mort d'Albert Ojwang dans un commissariat de Nairobi a déclenché une vague d'indignation dans le pays. Selon la version initiale de la police, il se serait cogné la tête contre le mur de sa cellule mais l'autopsie pointe des blessures « infligées par une force externe ». Qui était cet homme ? Pourquoi avait-il été arrêté ? Une enquête indépendante permettra-t-elle de poursuivre les policiers impliqués ? Avec Albane Thirouard, correspondante de RFI à Nairobi.   Soudan : le général libyen Khalifa Haftar accusé d'appuyer les paramilitaires  C'est une victoire qualifiée de décisive par les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) qui contrôlent désormais le triangle frontalier avec l'Égypte et la Libye. Contrainte de se retirer de cette zone, l'armée régulière accuse le général Khalifa Haftar d'avoir fourni un appui logistique aux paramilitaires. Quel intérêt l'homme fort de l'est libyen a-t-il à soutenir les FSR ? Cette aide peut-elle changer le rapport de force sur le terrain ? Avec Houda Ibrahim, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.    Mali : les prisons secrètes de Wagner   Une enquête menée par le consortium Forbidden Stories et plusieurs médias internationaux dont France 24 révèle l'existence d'au moins six prisons secrètes au Mali gérées par le groupe paramilitaire russe Wagner. Comment ces journalistes ont-ils réussi à obtenir ces informations dans un pays où la liberté de la presse est réprimée ?

Aux États-Unis, les manifestations parties de Californie contre la politique anti-immigratoire de Donald Trump s'étendent à d'autres États. Pendant ce temps, la police de l'immigration continue d'intensifier ses opérations. Los Angeles a passé la nuit sous couvre-feu, décision de la maire après des jours de manifestations contre la politique anti-immigration brutale de Donald Trump. Le président américain a choisi la force et envoyé l'armée contre les protestataires, une décision toujours très critiquée par le gouverneur de Californie et la maire de la ville. Pendant que le monde se concentre sur la réponse militaire, qualifiée d'autoritaire par les responsables démocrates, la presse rappelle que la police de l'immigration ICE poursuit ses arrestations massives et amplifie même ses opérations. Le Los Angeles Times nous fait sortir de la grande ville californienne pour se rendre dans les zones agricoles, grande richesse de l'État. Dans ces exploitations agricoles, beaucoup travaillent et vivent depuis des dizaines d'années sans papier en règle. Ils n'avaient, pour l'instant, pas été la cible du renforcement des opérations anti-migratoires. «Aujourd'hui, tout le monde est paniqué», témoigne la vice-présidente du syndicat United Farm Workers. Les opérations se multiplient depuis quelques jours. Au moins la moitié de 255 700 travailleurs agricoles de Californie seraient sans papiers. Si les propriétaires des exploitations agricoles refusent d'ouvrir ses portes, la police contourne l'interdiction et tente d'entrer sans mandat,  affirme la vice-présidente de l'association agricole Ventura County Farm Bureau. Le Washington Post révèle, lui, que l'administration Trump se prépare à commencer le transfert de milliers d'étrangers illégaux vers Guantanamo Bay. Guantanamo, base militaire située sur la pointe sud de Cuba et symbole de torture commise par les États-Unis sur des prisonniers. Elle était destinée à la lutte contre le terrorisme aujourd'hui, selon le Washington Post, les ressortissants de nombreux pays pourraient s'y voir envoyés. Français, Britanniques, Italiens, Polonais, Turcs, Haïtiens. Le sujet est considéré comme sensible, les sources du journal s'expriment sous couvert d'anonymat. 9 000 personnes seraient d'ores et déjà concernées. Elles doivent être soumises à un examen médical afin de savoir si leur santé leur permet d'être transférées à Guantanamo. Des centaines de migrants ont déjà été déplacés à Guantanamo cette année, mais il s'agirait là d'une augmentation massive. Donald Trump a promis en janvier 2026 d'envoyer 30 000 migrants à Guantanamo.     Haïti : la police dénonce le manque de soutien de l'État En Haïti, la police dénonce le manque de soutien de l'État face à la crise sécuritaire. Le syndicat SPNH-17 regrette aussi la décision de faire appel à un groupe de mercenaires étrangers Blackwater pour lutter contre les gangs. Gary Jean-Baptiste est le coordinateur général du syndicat : « Nous dénonçons cette démarche. Les mercenaires de Blackwater ne peuvent pas résoudre le problème de l'insécurité. Chaque pays confronté à une situation d'insécurité a sa propre manière de l'aborder. On ne peut pas résoudre l'insécurité en Haïti avec des forces étrangères, ni avec des mercenaires. Les fonds que l'État haïtien ou la communauté internationale dépensent, que ce soit pour la mission multinationale ou pour le recrutement de mercenaires, pourraient être utilisés pour construire une véritable force de sécurité, afin de renforcer et moderniser la Police nationale et les Forces armées d'Haïti. C'est dans cette direction seulement que le pays pourrait amorcer une sortie de la crise sécuritaire actuelle. »   Cuba : une mobilisation inédite depuis la révolution castriste de 1959 L'augmentation par l'État des tarifs de l'internet mobile a déclenché des manifestations inédites depuis la révolution castriste de 1959. La mobilisation a commencé, il y a une dizaine de jours. Aujourd'hui, les étudiants accusent le régime cubain d'infiltrer les universités pour étouffer le mouvement. Sur les réseaux sociaux, les vidéos tournées dans les universités se succèdent, rapporte le site d'information 14 y medio. Depuis deux jours, de nombreux étudiants ont été convoqués, les dortoirs fouillés. Certains groupes étudiants ont disparu des réseaux sociaux, d'autres ont publié des communiqués d'excuse pour éviter des sanctions plus graves. Mais 14 y medio note un réel changement à travers ce nouveau mouvement. La solidarité avec les manifestants est même venue de la gauche internationale qui, jusqu'à récemment, défendait le gouvernement cubain, note 14 y medio. Certains parlent même de «printemps des données». Le nom fait référence à l'étincelle du mouvement : l'augmentation du tarif de l'internet mobile décidée par l'État. Une augmentation telle que l'accès internet est aujourd'hui inabordable pour la majorité de la population. Le journaliste Rafael Rojas d'El Pais nous propose son analyse sur cette mesure. Le régime parle de nécessité économique, la venue notamment de devises étrangères via des recharges payées par des proches à l'étranger. Mais pour les étudiants, il s'agit d'une nouvelle augmentation des inégalités. La jeunesse cubaine est aussi très connectée aux réseaux numériques mondiaux. Le journal conclut sur le manque d'intérêt de la communauté internationale face à ces manifestations inédites.   Aux États-Unis, Atlanta tente d'être prête pour la Coupe du monde de foot dans un an La Coupe du monde de football se tiendra dans un an jour pour jour. La compétition aura lieu dans 16 villes entre les États-Unis, le Mexique et le Canada. Parmi ces villes, Atlanta où nous emmène notre correspondant Edward Maille, dans la course aux préparatifs.

As protests against ICE raids continue in Los Angeles, President Donald Trump is flexing his power in a way the nation hasn't seen in decades, deploying 4,000 National Guard troops and roughly 700 Marines in the city. California Gov. Gavin Newsom calls the moves a provocation, labeled Trump an “authoritarian” and called the mobilization of the Marines a “red line.” But sources close to the White House view this as a strategic messaging opportunity — one they believe will play to their political advantage. Where do things go from here, and what happens next? Chief Playbook correspondent Dasha Burns and author Jack Blanchard talk it through. Plus, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ousts the entire CDC committee that oversees the safety and use of vaccines.

« Son remplacement était en cours depuis des mois. Il est désormais officiellement finalisé, pointe Le Monde Afrique. Vendredi dernier, le groupe russe Wagner a annoncé sur sa principale chaîne Telegram son "retour chez lui" après avoir "accompli" sa mission au Mali, où ses mercenaires étaient présents depuis décembre 2021. Ce départ ne signifie pas la fin de la présence russe dans le pays pour autant : elle est dorénavant incarnée par Africa Corps, le dispositif mis en place par le ministère de la Défense russe pour gérer ses intérêts en Afrique depuis la mort, en août 2023, de l'influent Evgueni Prigojine, fondateur de Wagner, qui avait osé défier le pouvoir de Vladimir Poutine deux mois plus tôt. »Mission accomplie…Alors « mission accomplie », claironne Wagner… « Ce succès affiché est pourtant très relatif, relève Le Monde Afrique. Trois ans et demi après l'arrivée au Mali des mercenaires russes – qui ont pu être jusqu'à 2 500 –, de larges pans du territoire restent sous contrôle des groupes djihadistes. Ces dernières semaines, le GSIM, affilié à al-Qaïda, est à l'offensive et a infligé d'importantes défaites à l'armée malienne, notamment à Boulikessi, dans le centre du pays, où il a revendiqué avoir tué au moins une centaine de militaires le 1er juin. S'il a remporté une victoire symbolique en reprenant Kidal, fief des rebelles touaregs, dans le nord du Mali, en novembre 2023, Wagner a aussi essuyé huit mois plus tard une de ses pires défaites dans la zone voisine de Tin Zaouatine, où au moins 84 de ses hommes ont été tués, selon les rebelles. Les "musiciens", ainsi que les hommes de Wagner se surnomment, se sont aussi illustrés par leurs nombreux massacres de civils, à commencer par celui de Moura, dans le centre du pays, où au moins 500 personnes ont été tuées fin mars 2022, d'après un bilan établi par les Nations unies. »Dans la presse malienne, le départ de Wagner n'est pas commenté. Les opérations menées par les mercenaires russes étaient passées sous silence la plupart du temps. La part belle revenant aux Fama, aux Forces armées maliennes, au fil des déclarations de l'état-major, reprises scrupuleusement par les médias locaux. Dernière information en date délivrée par l'armée malienne : le démantèlement par bombardement aérien de cinq bases terroristes dans l'ouest du pays ce week-end. Les détails de l'opération sont à lire dans Malijet.… ou échec ?A contrario, la presse algérienne commente largement ce départ de Wagner. Et pour elle, le bilan est largement négatif.Témoin ce commentaire de Mabrouk Kahi, professeur de sciences politiques et de relations internationales à l'université de Ouargla (sud algérien), dans les colonnes d'El Khabar et dont les propos sont repris dans Le Point Afrique : « Les conditions internes au Mali montrent que Wagner a échoué dans sa mission, affirme-t-il, subissant de lourdes défaites aux côtés de l'armée malienne face aux groupes armés touaregs et même terroristes. De nombreux éléments de Wagner ont été tués ou capturés, ce qui a gravement porté atteinte à la réputation du groupe. Les conditions naturelles n'étaient pas non plus favorables au groupe russe, dont les équipements sophistiqués sont difficiles à utiliser dans des régions désertiques hostiles. À cela s'ajoute le manque d'adaptation aux terrains locaux. Toutes ces raisons ont fait du retrait une nécessité, fruit d'un échec et de l'incapacité à atteindre les objectifs fixés. »Brutalité…Interrogé par le site algérien TSA, Akram Kharief, fondateur du site Menadefense, est sur la même ligne : certes, reconnait-il, « les mercenaires de Wagner ont fait ce que personne n'a pu faire avant, c'est-à-dire ramener le calme dans la région des trois frontières et prendre plusieurs villes du nord, y compris le bastion des Azawadiens, Kidal. Mais en réalité, ils ont agi avec tellement de brutalité que la majorité des Maliens du nord aujourd'hui ont basculé dans le camp séparatiste. De plus, la situation sécuritaire ne s'est pas améliorée, Bamako est encerclée par Katiba Macina, les attaques contre les bases des Fama au nord sont quotidiennes et Wagner a échoué par deux fois à prendre Tinzaouatène. Leur bilan est donc mince. Ils quittent le Mali sans victoire. »Scepticisme…Enfin, on revient au Monde Afrique qui constate qu'à Bamako, ce passage de témoin entre Wagner et Africa Corps « suscite le scepticisme de certains militaires, qui voyaient en Wagner un instrument plus efficace, plus flexible, et dont ils connaissaient les chefs et les rouages – en plus d'en tirer de probables gains financiers. "Le Mali perd au change, estime un officier malien sous couvert d'anonymat. Entre les hommes de Wagner et ceux d'Africa Corps, ce ne sera pas le même degré d'engagement ni d'intensité. Les premiers connaissaient bien notre terrain. Les seconds seront sous la tutelle, forcément plus lourde et bureaucratique, de l'armée russe". »

Despite the latest US job data showing resilience, underlying cracks are emerging—highlighted by downward revisions to job growth figures. The stronger-than-expected headline number adds conflicting pressure on the Federal Reserve, complicating the outlook for rate cuts. At the same time, rising yields in Japan and growing concerns over the US fiscal trajectory are prompting investors to seek diversification. With emerging markets and Asian bonds showing strength, the case for quality bonds with moderate duration continues to grow.This episode is presented by Magdalene Teo, Head of Fixed Income Research Asia at Julius Baer.

In the electrifying conclusion to Tom Bilyeu's conversation with ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante, the lens widens to encompass today's global flashpoints. Andrew applies his framework of power, leverage, and outcomes to the powder keg of present-day geopolitics. From Covid conspiracies and biological warfare, to the rise of China, the fate of the U.S. dollar, and the shifting allegiances shaping the 21st century, Andrew breaks down how world leaders really make decisions—far removed from conventional morality. This part takes a deep dive into modern conflict zones including Russia-Ukraine, the Israel-Palestine crisis, and the West's declining grip amid new authoritarian contenders. Tom and Andrew wrestle with the hard questions: Are chemical and biological weapons just another leverage tool? Why are democracies struggling while strongman regimes rise? And what does the America-first, leverage-maximizing approach actually look like in real time? Buckle in for a rapid-fire tour through the next era of global power, what it has to do with everyday life, and why understanding the "spy playbook" has never mattered more.
