"Israel openly threatens to eliminate Iran's Khamenei " "Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has threatened to eliminate Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Calling the Iranian leader “the modern Hitler,” the Israeli minister said: ""A dictator like Khamenei, who leads Iran and has made the destruction of Israel his banner, cannot continue to exist.” The threat comes hours after some 20-30 Iranian missiles targeted Israel's central cities, including Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Holon, as well as Soroka Hospital in the southern city of Beersheba." "Trump to decide if US joins assault on Iran ‘within two weeks' " "US President Donald Trump has said he will decide whether to attack Iran within the next two weeks due to a ""substantial"" chance of negotiations, as Tel Aviv and Tehran traded fire for a seventh day. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said hat Trump was interested in pursuing a diplomatic solution with Iran, but his top priority was ensuring that Iran could not obtain a nuclear weapon. She said any deal would have to prohibit enrichment of uranium by Tehran and eliminate Iran's ability to achieve a nuclear weapon, adding that ""correspondence has continued"" between the United States and Iran." "UN adds Israel to blacklist of worst violators of children's rights " "The UN once again included the Israeli troops among ""parties that commit grave violations affecting children in situations of armed conflict,"" according to a report. The report said: ""In 2024, violence against children in armed conflict reached unprecedented levels, with a staggering 25 percent surge in the number of grave violations in comparison with 2023."" It added that the UN verified 41,370 grave violations against children, with 36,221 committed in 2024 — a nearly 50% rise in deadly incidents compared to the previous year." "Kiev worries Iran-Israel tensions may divert US attention " "Fighting between Iran and Israel could deflect global attention from the Russian incursion into Ukraine and even bolster Kremlin's war effort, Ukrainian officials have said. ""For Ukraine, the challenge is the price of oil, because if prices remain high for a long time, the Russians will earn more,"" a senior Ukrainian political source said. Kiev is concerned that waning attention and support from Washington could lead to a muted US response to further Russian advances or deadly aerial attacks. Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy said that the war between Iran and Israel carried risks for Kiev, adding that they would like to see the aid to Ukraine would not be reduced because of Israel-Iran conflict. " "Türkiye will never forget Azerbaijan's solidarity after earthquakes: Erdogan " "Türkiye will never forget the solidarity of the Azerbaijani people after the earthquakes that hit southern Türkiye in February 2023, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. Speaking at the key delivery ceremony of post-quake houses in Türkiye's Kahramanmaras province alongside his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev, he said that Azerbaijan was one of the first countries that came to his country's aid after the quakes. He recalled Türkiye's support for Azerbaijan on the issue of Karabakh from the first days of the 44-day conflict with Armenia in fall 2020, expressing Turkish solidarity “gave us additional strength.”"

We need a fresh perspective on propaganda. The old strategies for combating misinformation are no longer effective. Simply offering fact-checks isn't enough—those ensnared by propaganda aren't searching for facts. They're searching for something deeper: identity, belonging, and meaning. This is the central argument of a new book by Peter Pomerantsev, a renowned scholar of propaganda and information warfare. "How to Win an Information War" tells the story of British journalist Sefton Delmer, who developed innovative techniques to counter Nazi propaganda during World War II. Peter explores Delmer's legacy in hopes of uncovering lessons for today. Perhaps we, too, can learn something from both of them.

The war between Israel and Iran, Russia's key partner in the Middle East, is entering its second week, with potential for escalation and worrisome spillover effects. Yet Moscow is not rushing to support Tehran in any meaningful way. President Vladimir Putin has even downplayed the significance of the strategic partnership agreement signed with Iran just six months ago. Instead, Putin is courting Donald Trump, offering mediation: an offer the U.S. president was quick to reject. Will there be a more heavy-handed intervention by the Kremlin to help Iran? What cards can Russia still play to remain relevant? How could the escalating conflict in the Middle East affect Russia's strategic position, including in Ukraine?

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: Trump's pathetic dictator birthday parade was a total embarrassment — barely anyone showed up — while millions of Americans filled the streets nationwide for the historic No Kings Protests. We break down how Trump's weak display was overshadowed by a true grassroots uprising. Meanwhile, tensions escalate between Israel and Iran, raising the risk of American military involvement and exposing deep fractures within the MAGA movement. Trump's performance on the world stage continues to crumble as he arrives at the G7 and bizarrely praises Putin, once again acting like a Kremlin puppet. And in Minnesota, a far-right, Trump-supporting extremist has been arrested for the targeted political murder of a Democratic state lawmaker — while MAGA leaders desperately spread disinformation to cover it up.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with an IMF agent running on a roof, shooting back at people. He jumps off and lands on a inflatable and somehow doesn't stick around to jump on it. He spots his target but it's too late - she shoots him first. Tough break. Cut to Ethan Hunt. He's in a Moscow prison. Suddenly, Dean Martin begins to play over the loud speaker and his cell is unlocked. It's all Benji. He's outside in a truck watching on the camera. For some reason, Ethan doesn't go through the next open door. Instead, he goes to free someone and take him with him and Benji and very confused. But it works. They get to the room, the floor explodes and they escape.  Ethan knew that dude was his informer would be tortured and killed, so he rescued him and granted him his freedom. Jane is new and she tells Ethan that guy at the beginning of the movie was Agent Hanaway and he was killed while intercepting a routine courier drop. The courier was carrying Russian nuclear launch codes & these were now in the hands of the assassin that killed him. Hunt knows that IMF has been looking for an extremist, code name Cobalt. Cobalt is known to have a nuclear device and with the theft of the launch codes, his identity is now top priority for the IMF.  Cobalt was a nuclear strategist for Russian intelligence. So Ethan has to go to Russia to break into the secret Kremlin archives and locate files identifying Cobalt. Easy right? Well apparently Cobalt is already on his way to the Kremlin, which gives Ethan 5 hours to complete his mission. This mission is going great but when he gets to the archives, he finds out that what he needs is already missing. Then someone taps into the IMF frequency and their cover is blown. So Ethan aborts the mission. Suddenly, a bomb destroys the Kremlin which knocks Ethan out and he awkes up in a Russian hospital. He finds out that he is now a wanted man, so he has to escape.  The IMF picks Ethan up and catch him up to speed but their vehicle is attacked. One dude dies but another dude named William Brandt survives with Ethan. He finds out that the Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war and the US president activates "Ghost Protocol",  which disavows the entire IMF.  Based on Ethan's description of who he saw in the Kremlin with a briefcase, they identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks. They believe Hendricks bombed the Kremlin and got the Russian nuclear launch-control device, and now needs its codes from the Dubai. So off to Dubai they go! Ethan has to hack the server room. Obviously the only way to do that is from the outside with him using these special gloves hundreds of stories in the air. The plan is to make Wistrom, who is there on Hendricks behalf, believe he is getting the real codes, which are actually from Ethan and Brandt who are with the actual real codes in another room acting like they're the buyers. It's a whole thing. The plan is going great until the code women realizes that Brandt is taking pictures with his eyes. Wistom is getting away, so Ethan chases him into a sand storm. Turns out, Wistom is just Hendricks in a mask and he gets away! This is bad news.  The team is all mad at each other. Hendricks got away and Jane accidentally kicked the seller out of a window. Whoops. It's at this point that Ethan accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them because his fighting skills show that he's not just an analyst. Brandt admits he used to be an agent on the field. He was actually security detail to Ethan and his wife Julia. Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad, prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison, where he was at the beginning of the movie. Brandt blames himself and never wanted to be out on the field again.  They get word on where Henricks is going to be next. So off to Mumbai they go. They go to a party being thrown by Indian telecommunications guru. They believe he has struck a deal with Henricks and that he's going to use his sattelite. So Brandt breaks into the server room to take the satellite offline while Jane gets hot shot tech guy to reveal the satellite override code.  But Hendricks takes the servers offline before they can finish the plan. He fires a nuclear missile on San Francisco from a Russian submarine which would look like retaliation for the Kremlim bombing. The only way to stop the missile is via the abort sequence on the launch device that Hendricks is carrying. Hunt pursues Hendricks and the launch device while the other team-members attempt to bring the broadcast station back online so that the abort command will transmit. Hunt and Hendricks fight over the launch-control and he's able to hit the button and the power turns back on with 1 second to spare. No Nuclear war today! Plus, the IMF is proved innocent.  The team comes together to celebrate and he gives them all a new mission. Brandt refuses at first until Ethan explains that Julia isn't actually dead, it was all a cover, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Off to the next mission they go. 

Edition No160 | 16-06-2025 - Is the regime in Iran on the brink of collapse, as Israel continues to target strategic military and regime objects in Iran? Regime change is more openly being talked about as the key objective of the Israeli strikes, but have they bitten off more than they can chew? Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister has urged ordinary Iranians to seize the moment and overthrow Khamenei, his clerics and the theocratic elite that has ruled Iran since the 1979 revolution. A top aid to Iran's ruler Ali Khamenei is reported to be attempting to flee the country. Ali Asghar Hejazi is Deputy Chief-of-Staff to Iran's Supreme Leader and one of the most influential players in Iran's political establishment. Perhaps trying to force the pace of events, Israel continues its aerial attacks on the Islamic Republic. In an indication of who may suffer most if the regime falls, the regime enforcer is apparently in negotiations with Kremlin officials over securing asylum in Russia.Israel sees Iran's nuclear capabilities as an existential threat to its existence – this much is clear from the attacks that began last Friday. But why now, and why such a comprehensive series of attacks, not merely symbolic, but at scale and designed to severely degrade Tehran's ability to wage war in all its forms. One reason is clearly the inability of the Western powers to persuade Iran to stop its development of a nuclear weapons capability, favouring negotiations that have done nothing to halt this progress, and the other is the fear that an increasingly malignant Russia will help Iran to further accelerate its development of a nuclear capability, and then may help scale up production.----------Links: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jun/16/israel-iran-conflict-haifa-power-plant-tel-aviv-missile-strike-live-updates-middle-east?page=with%3Ablock-684fa1028f08c7927fc46678&filterKeyEvents=false#liveblog-navigationhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c79e233j2grohttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g3nz1p9wdohttps://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2068993/iran-ali-asghar-hejazi-asylum-russiahttps://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2069043/trump-israel-iran-war-leader ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

En ce mois de juin, les théâtres russes commencent à envoyer leurs programmes de rentrée avec des pièces mettant en valeur ce que Vladimir Poutine continue à appeler « l'opération spéciale ». Jeux vidéo, films, séries télé, toute l'industrie du loisir et de la culture est mise à contribution. Objectif : toucher le grand public. Avec, à ce stade, un succès encore mitigé chez les spectateurs. De notre correspondante à Moscou, En septembre, Irkoutsk accueillera la 15e édition de son festival national biennal de théâtre. Notamment sponsorisée par Gazprom, la compétition accueillera aussi en parallèle un laboratoire dont le thème est cette année « l'Opération militaire spéciale dans l'art théâtral moderne ». Vingt-huit candidatures de pièces originales écrites en russe, jamais mises en scène ni publiées auparavant ont été acceptées. Trois seront ensuite sélectionnées pour être jouées en public. Ce n'est qu'une des nombreuses illustrations de l'effort des autorités pour pousser une culture grand public toute tournée vers le soutien à son « opération spéciale ». Souci prononcé d'être proche des combattants De la capitale russe à Saint-Pétersbourg, de Kaliningrad à Vladivostok en passant par Kazan et Novossibirsk, cette année encore plus que les précédentes, chaque grande ville ou moyenne de Russie a vu se jouer dans ses théâtres au moins une pièce dite « patriotique », illustrant ou vantant l'effort de guerre de l'armée russe, héroïsant ses soldats, avec un souci prononcé d'être aussi proche des combattants que possible. À Moscou cette année, sur la scène du célèbre « Sovremennik », se jouait une pièce intitulée Call Sign Silence : l'histoire du nouveau départ dans la vie civile d'un vétéran handicapé revenu à la vie civile, « renforçant le moral des citoyens de Russie » selon certaines critiques. Dans les journaux de petites villes comme Yoshkar-Ola, à un peu plus de 800 km de la capitale, on peut aussi lire à propos de la présentation d'une pièce ce type de description : « Des témoins des événements ont aidé les artistes à recréer des actions militaires réalistes sur scène (..) Ils ont enseigné comment tenir correctement une mitrailleuse et exprimer la douleur d'une blessure pour que le spectateur vous croie ». Ces « témoins des événements » sont bien sûr les soldats. Même le théâtre amateur ou les troupes des écoles s'y sont mis. « Des films et des poèmes écrits parfois trop rapidement » Sur le grand et le petit écran, on peut aussi aujourd'hui voir des films et des séries dans la même veine que le premier modèle du genre : une série intitulée 20/22, soit une histoire d'amour contrariée qui se déroule pendant le siège de Marioupol, présentant, dans le droit fil du narratif du Kremlin, les soldats russes comme libérant la ville d'un fascisme destructeur. Malgré tous les efforts des institutions, disposant souvent d'un budget généreux pour subventionner toute proposition, le public n'est pourtant pas toujours au rendez-vous. La faute à une qualité qui laisserait à encore à désirer, juge une critique d'art qui fait autorité en Russie : « Aujourd'hui, le point de vue très patriotique trouve un débouché artistique, mais je ne vois pas encore une véritable forme d'art, juge-t-elle. Pour l'instant, et ce n'est que mon opinion personnelle, ce ne sont que des tentatives. Et elles ne sont pas toutes professionnelles. Il y a des films souvent réalisés à toute vitesse, ou bien des poèmes écrits très rapidement. On voit bien aussi ce qu'on appelle la poésie « Z ». Mais dans ce domaine, il n'y a tout simplement pas de bons poètes. Enfin, peut-être un. Il y a Igor Karaulov, qui est généralement considéré comme un vrai écrivain. Mais à bien des égards, ce sont des poèmes aux formes très simples, sans véritable élaboration. » À lire aussiSoutenir, critiquer ou se taire, les artistes russes face à un choix lourd de conséquences Difficile d'échapper à la production « patriotique » La qualité insuffisante est souvent invoquée par les spectateurs qui revendiquent ne pas être intéressés. « Si vous êtes en vacances, vous n'irez pas au cinéma voir ce type de film, même si on vous donne une réduction de 95%. Personne n'en a envie, car c'est mal fait, ça n'a rien à voir avec l'art », explique un jeune étudiant. Ils sont aussi encore nombreux ceux qui cherchent à fuir le plus possible dans leur vie privée, sur leur temps libre, tout ce qui peut leur rappeler la guerre. Comme cette psychologue moscovite, la quarantaine, qui explique : « Je ne regarde pas ce genre de cinéma et je ne l'ai jamais fait, car il provoque des émotions que je n'aime pas vraiment ressentir. Je suis assez sensible et j'essaie de me concentrer sur le positif. Dans ce genre de films, il y a toujours un côté dramatique et douloureux, que, personnellement, j'essaie de minimiser, car je vis déjà suffisamment d'expériences douloureuses dans ma vie. Et on entend parler de morts tous les jours. » Au box office russe de 2025 jusqu'ici, trois films sur le podium : le conte de fées Le Magicien de la cité d'Émeraude (version soviétique du magicien d'Oz), Nezha vaincra le Roi Dragon, un dessin animé chinois, Le Prophète, une biographie de Pouchkine pour adolescents. Il y a bien un film de guerre dans le Top 10, mais il s'agit d'un film d'anticipation qui se déroule dans les fonds marins. Pourtant, à en croire un jeune Moscovite, il est difficile d'échapper à la production contemporaine « patriotique » : « Bien sûr, la propagande est moins oppressante aujourd'hui qu'en URSS. On ne vous dit pas de toutes parts qu'il faut absolument voir tel film, mais le ressenti est très similaire. Mais même si vous n'êtes pas obligé de voir telle ou telle production parce que vous n'en avez pas envie, vous vous retrouverez forcément de toute façon à voir la bannière ou la publicité et vous ressentirez cette émotion écœurante. » Trop de pression peut-être, surtout pour ceux qui, comme ce jeune homme, doivent déjà garder leurs opinions anti-guerre en Ukraine pour eux et s'évader, seuls devant un écran d'ordinateur, en regardant grâce aux VPN des films et séries interdits. Cela n'empêche pas, parfois, des petits gestes, comme celui d'un étudiant qui cet hiver a laissé un commentaire sur le site internet d'un théâtre de Moscou, critiquant la présence de la lettre « Z » sur sa façade.  Pour expliquer ces quelques lignes à RFI, il avance : « Je ne soutiens pas l'opération spéciale, je ne soutiens pas la guerre, ni le régime actuel, je pense que toute sa politique est extrêmement mauvaise, et j'essaie de m'y opposer autant que possible. Donc, je n'irai plus jamais dans ce théâtre tant qu'un « Z » y est suspendu. Je pense d'ailleurs que se rendre dans un tel théâtre est un soutien indirect. D'ailleurs, je ne monterai pas non plus dans un bus sur lequel la lettre Z est affichée. Je sais bien que dans la situation actuelle, il est extrêmement difficile de ne montrer aucun soutien, que tout le monde est sous une pression folle, mais je pense que n'importe quel théâtre peut quand même se permettre de ne pas accrocher une énorme lettre Z sur la façade. » À lire aussiRussie: le pouvoir conforte sa reprise en main sur la culture « Faire profil bas n'est pas se taire » Pour combien de temps encore ? Depuis 2022, les autorités ont méthodiquement procédé : elles ont visé toutes les têtes des grandes institutions culturelles connues à Moscou ou à Saint-Pétersbourg. Toute direction jugée pas assez favorable au pouvoir et à sa décision d'envoyer ses soldats en Ukraine a été remplacée par des figures dont la loyauté aux yeux de tous ne pouvait faire aucun doute. A la tête de grands musées, on retrouve par exemple aujourd'hui des personnalités réputées proches des services de sécurité. Parfois, certains d'entre eux siègent simplement au conseil d'administration, mais cela suffit pour assurer un verrouillage désormais total. Quant aux artistes critiques, ceux qui n'ont pas fui courent un risque très élevé de se retrouver derrière les barreaux. Le terme « critique » recouvre d'ailleurs un champ très large. Témoin l'affaire de la metteuse en scène Evguenia Berkovitch et de la dramaturge Svetlana Petriïtchouk, condamnées en juillet dernier à quasiment six ans de colonie pénitentiaire par un tribunal militaire. Motif : « apologie du terrorisme ». En cause officiellement : leur pièce de théâtre intitulée « le faucon », Saluée par la critique et le public, elle avait reçu en 2022 deux Masques d'or, la plus prestigieuse récompense du théâtre russe. Elle raconte l'histoire de jeunes femmes russes recrutées sur internet par des islamistes en Syrie et partant les rejoindre pour les épouser. Soit, disent les artistes qui ont toujours clamé leur innocence, l'inverse de ce qui leur est reproché. D'Evguenia Berkovitch, et des motifs de son arrestation, une personnalité du monde culturel russe dit : « Mon opinion personnelle est que le vrai problème est qu'elle n'était pas capable de se taire, sur aucun sujet. Evguenia a toujours dit que le théâtre ne pouvait pas être en dehors de son temps, en dehors des événements. Que si le théâtre ne parle pas ce qu'il se passe dans le monde, au moment où ça se passe, alors cela signifie qu'il n'est pas honnête » Sans débouchés possibles pour exprimer leur vision – une des personnes rencontrées lors de ce reportage parle de « zone de silence » –, aujourd'hui les artistes qui ne soutiennent pas activement la politique du pouvoir et qui sont restés en Russie se réfugient, dit cette personnalité du monde culturel, dans l'expression de leurs idées de la manière « la plus allégorique possible ». À lire aussiRussie: le musée du Goulag à Moscou fermé Un jeu vidéo russe sur la guerre en Ukraine « Malheureusement, reprend-elle, il y a maintenant une fracture entre "ceux qui sont partis" et "ceux qui sont restés". Beaucoup de gens qui sont partis ont commencé à critiquer très durement ceux qui sont restés en leur disant : "Vous avez cédé, vous avez abandonné, il est impossible de rester dans ce pays sans devenir un salaud". Je pense que ce n'est pas vrai. Qu'il y a toujours des options. Qu'il y a une différence entre se taire et faire simplement profil bas. La question est de savoir comment vous le faites, et quel genre de personne vous êtes. Même si pour moi, même si la guerre se terminait, la situation sur le plan intérieur ne changera pas. » Le pouvoir renforce chaque jour un peu plus son investissement dans la culture. Vladimir Poutine a ainsi ordonné ce printemps la création d'un lieu à Moscou tout entier dédié à promouvoir « le théâtre patriotique moderne ». Date butoir : le 30 novembre prochain. Une production nationale russe en tout cas, semble elle, à en croire en tout cas son chef de projet, tirer largement son épingle du jeu. Il s'agit d'un jeu vidéo intitulé Squad 22: ZOV. Décrit comme « basé sur l'expérience réelle de la guerre des vétérans russes en Ukraine », il propose des volets comme « Campagne de printemps du Donbass, 17 missions sur les combats de 2014 », ainsi que « Marioupol 2022 » et « Contre-offensive ukrainienne 2023 » et revendique 100 000 utilisateurs quotidiens sur la page internet où on peut le télécharger depuis fin janvier dernier. Présenté sur la plate-forme Steam depuis le 30 mai dernier – et bloqué sur son segment ukrainien –, il y est décrit comme « officiellement recommandé par l'armée russe comme manuel de tactiques d'infanterie de base pour l'entraînement des cadets et de la Iounarmia (organisation d'État russe pour les jeunes cadets de l'armée) », plaçant le joueur « aux commandes d'équipes de soldats russes qui combattent les forces armées ukrainiennes, font des prisonniers et libèrent des otages ». Ce même 30 mai dernier, le chef de projet affirmait au quotidien légitimiste les Izviestia que 54% de son chiffre d'affaires provenait déjà... des États-Unis.

Au Mali, Wagner, c'est fini. Les troupes russes vont maintenant faire la guerre sous le nom d'Africa Corps. Pourquoi ce nouveau nom ? Est-ce seulement un changement de casquette ? « Pas si simple », répond Arthur Banga, qui est spécialiste des questions de défense à l'université Félix-Houphouët-Boigny d'Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire. L'enseignant-chercheur veut espérer qu'Africa Corps commettra moins d'exactions que Wagner contre les civils maliens. Arthur Banga répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : « Bravo à Wagner qui en trois ans a bouté les terroristes de nombreuses zones du Mali et reconquis la capitale régionale de Kidal », disent les médias pro-russes. Est-ce que c'est vrai ? Est-ce que le bilan militaire de Wagner est positif ? Arthur Banga : Il est très mitigé ce bilan. Il y a quand même la victoire de Kidal qui est importante pour l'image déjà de la reconquête mais importante aussi pour la stratégie du gouvernement malien. Mais depuis justement cette victoire significative en novembre 2023, il n'y a plus rien. Il y a plutôt des défaites : Tinzaouatène... Tout récemment, des attaques qui se multiplient. Et je pense que, quelque part, l'action de Wagner est mitigée, sinon peut-être même négative quand on fait la balance.  Alors, en effet, en juillet 2024, plus de 80 mercenaires de Wagner auraient été tués par les rebelles touaregs du FLA lors de la bataille de Tinzaouatène. Est-ce que cette défaite militaire a pu porter atteinte au moral des troupes russes ? Est-ce l'une des raisons du changement de nom aujourd'hui ? Oui, ça a été une défaite beaucoup commentée. Et puis, on a encore les images de prisonniers qui ont été faits par ces groupes. Et qui sont toujours aux mains des rebelles... Voilà. Et ces images diffusées ont vraiment porté atteinte parce que l'idée, c'est que Wagner venait de réussir le job que, par exemple, l'armée française ou Takuba n'avait pas pu faire. Et là malheureusement pour les Maliens, le constat est amer et cette défaite a marqué les esprits. Et a surtout décrédibilisé un peu Wagner, surtout après leur victoire à Kidal. Alors, justement, si on compare le bilan Wagner au bilan Barkhane, qu'est-ce qu'on peut dire ? Je pense que l'on peut tirer les mêmes enseignements de ces deux opérations : soit vous vous trouvez dans le cas de Barkhane, vous devenez perçu comme une force d'occupation, vous perdez votre statut de force de libération pour une force d'occupation. Soit comme Wagner, vous comprenez que l'on peut avoir des victoires tactiques, mais au final, le bilan est mitigé. Est-ce que Wagner faisait de la protection rapprochée des officiers supérieurs de la junte malienne ? Et est-ce qu'Africa Corps va continuer cette mission ? La mission ne va pas changer. Et on l'a bien vu sur certaines images très claires, authentifiées, que Wagner faisait souvent de la surveillance de personnalité. De la protection en fait ? De la protection, oui. Sur le plan opérationnel, Wagner jouissait d'une certaine autonomie, surtout du vivant d'Evgueni Prigojine. Est-ce qu'Africa Corps sera plus sous le contrôle direct du ministère russe de la Défense à Moscou ? Oui, ça, ça sera l'un des grands changements, parce que justement Prigojine s'est autorisé des largesses au nom de cette autonomie. Donc, clairement, la plus grande différence sera à ce niveau-là, ça sera l'impact direct des autorités russes, le contrôle direct sur l'action que va mener Africa Corps. Et ça, ça va changer de l'autonomie de Wagner. Sur le plan des droits de l'Homme, Wagner a commis plusieurs massacres, notamment dans la communauté peule du Mali. À Moura près de Mopti, en mars 2022, plus de 500 civils ont été tués par les Russes de Wagner. Est-ce que les Russes d'Africa Corps sont prêts à continuer les mêmes exactions à votre avis ou pas ? On verra. Si Wagner faisait le job entre guillemets et même sur le front ukrainien, recruter des prisonniers etc, c'est parce qu'on ne voulait pas mêler directement la Russie officielle à ces aspects-là, les massacres et cetera. Ça peut donc avoir un impact positif dans ce sens-là parce que le fait d'être lié directement au Kremlin peut avoir la conséquence d'être un peu plus regardant sur ces aspects-là, parce que ça peut remonter directement sur la réputation du Kremlin et de la Russie. On peut donc espérer qu'il y aurait moins d'exactions, même s'il faut rester vigilant et prudent.  Parce qu'Africa Corps, ça responsabilise directement Vladimir Poutine ? Beaucoup plus que Wagner. Sur le plan économique, Wagner crée des compagnies minières pour exploiter les ressources locales aussi bien au Mali qu'en République centrafricaine. Que va-t-il en être maintenant avec Africa Corps ? Je pense que la logique va se perpétuer, peut-être pas avec les mêmes acteurs, peut-être pas directement avec Africa Corps, qui va sans doute se concentrer sur ses aspects militaires. Mais il faut bien voir que l'on est dans une opération stratégique dans le sens large du terme, c'est-à-dire qu'on fait à la fois du politique, du militaire, du diplomatique, mais aussi de l'économie. Et donc, la Russie n'entend pas perdre les gains économiques de Wagner. Ce n'est pas possible. « Notre présence en Afrique s'accroît, nous allons nous concentrer principalement sur l'interaction économique et l'investissement », affirme Dmitri Peskov, le porte-parole du Kremlin. Ça va se traduire comment sur le terrain économique ? Aujourd'hui, l'un des reproches que l'on fait justement à la Russie, c'est de n'apporter sur le continent que son savoir-faire militaire. Aujourd'hui, elle va aussi essayer de montrer qu'elle sait être un partenaire économique fiable au même titre que la Chine, les pays occidentaux. Wagner, c'était pour trois ans, Africa Corps, c'est pour 30 ans ? Sauf changement de régime, je pense que la Russie est encore pour le moment au Mali, au Niger et au Burkina, dans un cadre plus durable, dans un cadre plus global. Et vous avez rappelé les mots de Peskov : c'est, aujourd'hui, asseoir à la fois du militaire, du diplomatique, de l'économique et même du culturel.

Die Europese Unie het sy 18de sanksiepakket teen Rusland bekendgemaak met die Kremlin se vermoë om geld te maak uit olie- en gasproduksie in die visier. Dit sluit ʼn verbod in op die gebruik van die Nord Stream-pypleiding om gas tussen Rusland en Duitsland te vervoer en die verlaging van die prysplafon op Russiese olie-uitvoere. Die pakket moet nog deur die EU se 27 lidlande goedgekeur word. Die Europese Kommissie se president, Ursula von der Leyen, sê hulle soek vrede in Oekraïne:

The Kremlin has been using freelancers to carry out dirty deeds across Europe with increasing frequency — and those freelancers can be anyone. The strategy is as sinister as it is effective.

Bruno Kahl thinks Vladimir Putin would do this by placing ‘little green men' - in other words, plain-clothes soldiers - in Estonia like he did when he annexed Crimea in 2014.

Edition No155 | 08-06-2025 - Russia has a fascist ideology. It may be incoherent when it comes to doctrinal details, but it is clear on one thing. If you are part of the democratic world, it intends to destroy you. Russian propagandists and ideologies are clear on this point at least. It's time to face this ideology for what it really is: aggressive, intolerant, extreme, calculated, premeditated and completely nihilistic. Modern Russian fascism is built for export, and is fundamentally opposed to the democratic world, its culture, values and its institutions. In this episode we'll look at an interview given for Le Grand Continent, a respected European journal of geopolitical analysis published by the GEG - Groupe d'Études Géopolitiques, a think tank affiliated with the prestigious École Normale Supérieure in Paris. They published a deeply disturbing conversation with Sergei Karaganov, one of the Kremlin's most influential ideologues and a longtime advisor to Vladimir Putin.----------Links: https://legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2025/06/07/entretien-avec-serguei-karaganov-larchitecte-de-la-geopolitique-de-poutine/https://substack.com/@statedept/p-164571608----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

In this episode, host Robert & Ruairi explore the mounting crises facing Russia as it barrels toward an increasingly unsustainable future. No matter what happens in Ukraine, historical perspective points to catastrophic geopolitical failure. With a dwindling population and severe manpower shortages—both on the battlefield and across its domestic economy—Russia's war machine is running out of fuel. We dive into how the shift to a full war economy and financial sleight of hand may have bought the Kremlin time, but not solutions. From demographic collapse to economic dead ends, we unpack why Russia's long-term prospects look darker than ever. Tune in for a sobering yet vital analysis of a country cornered by its own choices.⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

Global Political Challenges and PredictionsNick Cohen and John Sweeney discuss the current state of global politics, focusing on the challenges faced by powerful leaders like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. They highlight the recent audacious drone attacks by Ukraine on Russian strategic bomber fleets, which John Sweeney compared to calling out the "Emperor in the Kremlin with no clothes." John expresses caution about predicting the downfall of dictators, citing his past experiences with Mugabe,Putin's Downfall and Ukraine's WarJohn and Nick discuss the current situation in Russia and Ukraine, focusing on Vladimir Putin's leadership and the potential for his overthrow. Sweeney shares Owen's argument that there are 3 tests before Putin's downfall: the lack of a viable successor, a crashing economy, and a competent government.Putin's Influence on Trump John also talks about the potential influence of Putin on Trump, referencing the Steele dossier (written by former Mi6 officer Christopher Steele.) They agree that while the dossier's claims about Trump's personal behaviour could not be proven, the allegations about Putin's intervention in the 2016 US election were accurate. John highlights the importance of understanding the geopolitical implications of Ukraine's drone attack on Russia, emphasising the need for a realistic approach to global politics.Trump's Waning Influence and ChallengesJohn talks about the complex relationship between Trump and Putin, highlighting a potential compromise involving Trump's authoritarian leanings and shared worldview with Putin, despite effective sanctions against Russia that only Congress can repeal. He explained that Trump's chaotic tariff policy and proposed fiscal measures are damaging the real American economy, reducing his political capital to influence events in Ukraine. They also discuss Trump's mini-me Nigel Farage and Reform councils taking down the Ukrainian flagUkraine's War & British PoliticsJohn discusses the military situation in Ukraine, noting that while Russian drones are causing problems for Ukraine, the country's huge size means it can retreat significantly before the situation becomes catastrophic.

Het leek een week van tegenslagen voor Rusland met onder meer die vernietigende drone-aanval van de Oekraïners. Dus hoe is de stemming in het Kremlin? En wat gaat Poetin doen? We vragen het Rusland-kenner Hubert Smeets.  (16:20) Elon Musk vs. Bill Gates in Afrika twee tech-miljardairs in Afrika. Elon Musk zet een streep door de Amerikaanse hulp, maar Bill Gates zei deze week juist dat hij het grootste deel van zijn geld gaat uitgeven aan ontwikkeling van Afrika. Wat betekent dat?

Les Italiens se prononcent ce lundi 9 juin lors d'un référendum pour faciliter l'obtention de la nationalité italienne. Le texte prévoit cinq ans de séjour dans le pays, contre dix aujourd'hui, pour demander un passeport. Deux millions et demi d'étrangers sont concernés.  Le référendum est porté par l'opposition de gauche, et le gouvernement d'extrême droite voudrait bien le déclarer nul si plus de la moitié des électeurs ne se déplacent pas jusqu'aux urnes. Drôle de patchwork que cette législation italienne, qui reconnait aussi le droit du sang. Aujourd'hui, il faut prouver que son grand-père ou sa grand-mère était Italien(ne) pour obtenir un passeport, mais pendant longtemps, on pouvait remonter en arrière jusqu'au milieu du XIXè siècle. Si bien que de nombreux citoyens sud-américains ont fait la demande et les tribunaux sont engorgés.

C'est tout l'objet des golden visas. Les visas en or qui ont permis à de riches Russes, Chinois ou Américains de se faire une place au soleil. Mais les risques de blanchiment d'argent, de corruption ou même de sécurité ont amené la Commission européenne à mettre le holà et à demander à plusieurs pays d'être un peu plus regardants.

Edition No154 | 07-06-2025 - Trump was asked a simple question. One which any man with empathy, leadership qualities, or any human dignity would find simple to answer. His instinct was to reach for a classic rapists' response, or defense. Ukraine was asking for it, he basically said. Trump was asked: Do Ukraine's strikes against Russian airfields change your view of the cards Zelenskyy has? ----------Links: https://kyivindependent.com/operation-spiderweb-gave-putin-a-reason-to-bomb-the-hell-out-of-them-trump-says-following-large-scale-attacks-on-ukrainian-cities/https://kyivindependent.com/russian-attack-on-kharkiv-kill-1-injure-13/https://kyivindependent.com/fires-reported-following-russias-drone-attack-on-kyiv/https://kyivindependent.com/six-people-likely-trapped-under-the-rubble-of-enterprise-hit-by-russia-in-kharkiv/https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-refutes-trump-comparing-russian-war-to-children-fighting-calls-putin-murderer/----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:    We'll start things off with disturbing news about an alleged plot by two Chinese nationals, including one with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, to smuggle a "dangerous biological pathogen" that could be used as an agroterrorism weapon into the US. We'll have the details. Later in the show—President Donald Trump says the Kremlin is preparing to retaliate against Ukraine over their crippling drone attack on Moscow's strategic bomber fleet. The warning followed a lengthy phone call between the president and Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, and is further eroding hopes that a peaceful settlement to the war can be achieved despite ongoing talks. Plus—a bombshell report reveals that a self-proclaimed "Jew hater" and active participant in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University had direct links to Hamas and the terror group's al-Qassam Brigades. In our 'Back of the Brief—somber news out of Gaza, where Israeli forces have recovered the bodies of two hostages with dual Israeli-U.S. citizenship that were killed during Hamas's barbaric 7 October terrorist attack.

Kremlin Indicates End Of Negotiations With Ukraine Government, Confirms Russia WILL Retaliate Against Drone Strikes As Zelensky Begs For Ceasefire! PLUS, Trump Orders Investigation Biden's Mental State, Autopen

C dans l'air du 5 juin 2025 - Poutine humilié par les drones ukrainiens : quelle riposte ?Symbole du contrôle russe sur la Crimée, le pont du détroit de Kertch a été visé par une attaque ukrainienne. Mardi 3 juin 2025, une charge explosive sous-marine a ciblé l'édifice reliant la péninsule annexée au territoire russe. Sur Telegram, le Service de sécurité d'Ukraine (SBU) a revendiqué l'opération, qui aurait "gravement endommagé" les piliers sous-marins. De leur côté, les autorités russes ont reconnu l'attaque, tout en assurant que la situation était sous contrôle.Malgré les dispositifs de sécurité renforcés par Moscou, Kyiv frappe encore une fois l'un des symboles les plus visibles de l'annexion de la Crimée par la Russie. Cette attaque intervient seulement deux jours après un vaste raid de drones ukrainiens contre des bases aériennes russes, au cours duquel des dizaines d'avions auraient été touchés.Cette intensification des opérations militaires survient dans un climat diplomatique particulièrement tendu. Lundi, la rencontre entre responsables russes et ukrainiens à Istanbul a mis en lumière l'impasse persistante entre les deux camps. Le président des États-Unis s'est également entretenu par téléphone avec Vladimir Poutine. "Il n'y aura pas de paix immédiate", a-t-il averti mercredi. Sur son réseau Truth Social, Donald Trump a relayé les propos du président russe, qui promet une riposte.C'est donc une intensification militaire qui semble s'annoncer en Ukraine, loin de la promesse faite par le président américain de réussir à mettre fin, "en 24 heures", au conflit. Quelle forme prendra-t-elle ? La Russie est-elle sur le point de lancer une offensive majeure ?En guise de réponse aux nombreux appels du pied de Washington, l'homme fort du Kremlin a, au contraire, décidé d'intensifier ses attaques contre l'ex-république soviétique ces dernières semaines. Vladimir Poutine a également intensifié ses contacts avec ses alliés, notamment l'Iran, la Corée du Nord, l'Azerbaïdjan, la Biélorussie et la Chine. Avec Pékin, la relation est décrite comme une amitié "sans limites". Depuis le début du conflit, les échanges commerciaux entre les deux pays ont explosé, atteignant un record de 245 milliards de dollars en 2024. En peu de temps, la Chine a remplacé l'Union européenne en tant que premier acheteur d'énergie et fournisseur de biens de la Russie. Ce qui limite, de facto, l'impact des sanctions occidentales sur l'économie et l'effort de guerre russes.Sur le terrain, les mouvements des troupes russes s'accélèrent. Moscou déploie ses troupes vers plusieurs zones clés du front, notamment dans l'est de l'Ukraine et en Biélorussie. Un haut responsable ukrainien a averti mercredi les États-Unis que l'armée russe préparait des avancées militaires importantes en 2026, dont un barrage de l'accès ukrainien à la mer Noire, crucial pour Kiev.LES EXPERTS :- GÉNÉRAL DOMINIQUE TRINQUAND - Ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU, auteur de D'un monde à l'autre - VERA GRANTSEVA - Politologue- spécialiste de la Russie - MARYSE BURGOT - Grand reporter à France Télévisions- ALBAN MIKOCZY - Grand reporter à Franceinfo tv

Michael Allen welcomes back RADM (Ret.) Mark Montgomery to the podcast, where he explains why—even with a ceasefire—ending the war between Russia and Ukraine could be “impossible.” He discusses the recent shifts in military gains and losses on both sides, and what it could take to change the odds in favor of either Moscow or Kyiv.

Rusia fue golpeada por los ucranianos con dos brillantes operaciones que quedarán en los manuales de la historia militar. El domingo, en cuestión de horas, enjambres de drones guiados por Inteligencia Artificial destruyeron un tercio de la flota de bombarderos estratégicos rusos. Y dos días después, los comandos ucranianos lograron detonar mas de una tonelada de explosivos en el Puente de Kerch, el sitio mas vigilado por Rusia, a excepción quizás del despacho de Putin en el Kremlin. Hoy vamos a conocer cómo se organizaron estos ataques y sus consecuencias más profundas para el desarrollo de la guerra que sacude a Europa hace mas de tres años.

Today's Headlines: Twelve people were severely injured in Boulder, Colorado, after Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, attacked a weekly pro-hostage-release walk with a homemade flamethrower; the FBI charged him with a federal hate crime after discovering he had planned the attack for a year. In Ukraine, officials say they destroyed 40 Russian nuclear-capable bombers in a drone strike, a move some Russian commentators likened to Pearl Harbor. Trade tensions with China are escalating after mutual accusations of violating last month's handshake agreement, with China vowing retaliation. In Poland, conservative Karol Nawrocki narrowly won the presidency in a record-turnout election. Meanwhile, new reporting reveals the Trump administration is using Peter Thiel's Palantir to centralize massive amounts of citizen data across federal agencies. Despite this, newly uncovered data shows the U.S. knowingly deported Venezuelans with no criminal records to El Salvador's CECOT prison under dubious terrorism claims—while quietly admitting more white South African refugees. Lastly, law firms that cooperated with Trump are now losing corporate clients like Oracle and McDonald's, who question whether these firms can be trusted to defend their interests.

Ukraine launching an audacious drone attack thousands of miles into Russia, stunning the world and showing the strategic importance of drone warfare. As many as 41 Russian bombers across the country were damaged and analysts say it could be a serious setback for Moscow's war on Ukraine. Many of those bombers were used by the Kremlin to launch attacks on civilian populations in Ukraine. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Dr. Rebecca Grant, Vice President of the Lexington Institute and national security analyst, who says the unprecedented attack has really hampered Russia's strategic bombing force.
