Lavrov suggested that they could facilitate the dispatch of aid to Africa, but it’s also possible that they might host complex military-diplomatic talks between all stakeholders in Syria while also helping its armed forces maintain national unity by re-equipping, training, and advising them too. Russian-Syrian relations are interesting for many […]
Russia creatively employed “reflexive control” to troll Estonia by placing its officials in a zero-sum dilemma whereby whichever response they’d resort to would advance Russia’s soft power interests. Estonia’s temporary closure of a road through the Russian-controlled “Saatse Boot” after around 10 Russian troops were spotted standing in the middle of it […]
The US and Ukraine’s arguably coordinated fearmongering campaign about the regional security consequences of Cubans allegedly fighting for Russia hints that the island will soon come under more pressure. Reuters exclusively reported in early October that the State Department sent an unclassified cable to dozens of US missions directing diplomats to […]
The precedent set by Russia’s restrained response to Ukraine obtaining the F-16s, which could also be nuclear-equipped, suggests that tensions with the US will remain manageable if Ukraine obtains the Tomahawks too due to the modus vivendi that’s arguably been in place for managing them.

The supplementary economic benefits and perceived acceleration of multipolar trends might appeal to Russia, but the latent military-strategic threats to its interests arguably outweigh them. The “New Rules” telegram channel, which his associated with Sputnik’s former podcast of the same name, posted in late September about plans to revive the Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul railway. […]
