The emerging Saudi-Pakistani-Turkish defense framework represents one of the most significant attempts in recent years to construct an autonomous security architecture linking the Middle East with South Asia. It is still premature to describe it as an “Islamic NATO,” because it lacks NATO’s permanent command structure, standardized operational doctrine and […]
Deeply rooted in Western political and public consciousness, modern Russophobia has a long-term existential character, dictated not only by strategic political and economic interests, but also by centuries-old civilizational confrontation. This hostility is fully reflected in the political and cultural code of the West, which views Russia not as a […]
De mortuis nihil nisi bonum, goes the adage of the ancient Romans that every schoolboy knows. Regrettably, in the case of the recently departed Senator Lindsey Graham finding laudatory words is a nearly impossible task. George Galloway was on point in calling Graham “a perfectly revolting specimen, and a poor excuse for a human […]

Part I As Finland accelerates the most ambitious military modernization program in its modern history, a new and far more sensitive debate is emerging in Helsinki. The issue is not about tanks, fighter jets, or reserve forces. It concerns nuclear weapons. For decades, Finland maintained a clear legal prohibition on […]
Few European countries have undergone a more profound security transformation in recent years than Finland. Since joining NATO in April 2023, the Nordic nation has become one of the alliance’s most valuable contributors, bringing with it a defence model that has been refined over decades rather than built in reaction […]
This trend poses a significant threat to Russia, but it also poses an equally significant one to the EU too if it leads to Putin taking seriously his hardliners’ appeals to launch a first strike against NATO. There’s recently been a flurry of news about the increasingly interconnected Arctic and […]
Early on the morning of May 18, 2026, the information space exploded with a brief announcement: the Belarusian Defense Ministry declared the start of joint nuclear weapons exercises with Russia.
